An interactive program designed to give participants the ability to learn skills and have influential experiences related to an interest area or stream.

Participants will attend an initial session that reviews the program guidelines and information related to the different streams that they can choose from.  Once they have completed this session, they can select their stream and begin to complete the goals, workshops, and activities related to the stream until they meet the requirements to obtain a certificate in the program under that stream.

Streams

• Leadership & Mentoring

The Leadership & Mentoring stream offers opportunities to learn different leadership strategies and skills that foster growth in the ability to lead, follow, and mentor others.

• Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion

In the Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion stream, participants will gain insight into the progression of initiatives to promote equity and diversity and understand how to contribute to a positive future of inclusive practices.

• Environmental Impact & Sustainability

The stream of Environment Impact & Sustainability allows for learning and discussion around current and historical environmental decisions and practices that have had good and bad effects to the natural world and continue the conversation in continuing sustainable practices.

• Social Justice & Community

Looking at the impacts of a society that has vastly different access to health, wealth, privileges, and opportunities, this stream seeks to analyze these themes and formulate ideas around understanding how to help a community who may be struggling.
