Program Description
The USC Nonprofit Resilient Leaders and Capacity Building Program supports the growth and development of local diverse nonprofit leaders. This program provides leaders with access to new information and resources, practical strategies and opportunities to engage and network with strategic thought partners. This experience ultimately helps to create transformational change and growth for the participating organizations and the communities they serve.
We partner with industry experts to facilitate high quality instruction. The Nonprofit Program Advisory Committee provides direction and counsel throughout the development, implementation and evaluation of the program. All program participants are required to complete a Final Project, which outlines their strategic goals as they relate to the content learned. This program is funded in part by Citizens Business Bank.
