Blog: NPLA Kicks off Foundations

Today is the first day of Foundations: our online program that helps servant leaders take their first concrete steps toward getting ready to run for office. During the five-session program, participants develop their public narrative by building on the work they began during Answering the Call to clarify their personal leadership mission and values. Importantly, we’re a partner in this work and offer individual coaching and feedback throughout Foundations to further servant leaders’ personal leadership development. After working on their personal narratives, servant leaders build the beginnings of a fundraising strategy by organizing their networks and learning how to use them effectively.

The program is open to individuals determined to run for office, as well as those who simply want to learn about the first steps of running a campaign.We are excited to kick off our first session tonight! We’ll welcome a diverse group of leaders from a variety of service backgrounds, including AmeriCorps alumni, Returned Peace Corps Volunteers, and veterans of the U.S. Military. We look forward to an engaging and informative program.
