Serve DC - The Mayor's Office on Volunteerism is excited to offer the 2009 National Service Leadership Institute, a team, course, and training-based professional development opportunity designed to build the capacity of national service program staff to lead initiatives that address issues in education, public safety, environmental, and other pertinent challenges facing communities in the District of Columbia. Serve DC in partnership with the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) believes that the 2009 National Service Leadership Institute will provide a holistic approach in administering resources and comprehensive training to connect an idea to a sustainable community program or project. The Leadership Institute will serve as the “on ramp” for new program staff and a “recharge” for others that will address the eight core competencies prescribed by the Corporation for National and Community Service while serving as a catalyst for cross program collaboration.

The 2009 National Service Leadership Institute boasts several opportunities for its participants to gain professional development skills while receiving college credit towards a BA degree. The main benefit is a credit-bearing Certificate of Nonprofit Leadership from UDC. All interested applicants are required to attend a mandatory information session on Thursday, June 18, at 5 pm at 441 4th Street, NW, Suite 1140N, Washington, DC 20001.
