Elements of an Engaged Educator
Educators — Cohort
In this dynamic virtual series, we explore the building blocks of an engaged educator’s life: perspective (Pe), curiosity (Cu), compassion (Co), purpose (Ps) and gratitude (Gr). Whether educators attend a selection or all five workshops, they’ll get a chance to connect, reflect and learn how practicing these life-giving elements can support and sustain them in their important work with young people.
Parent Academy
Parents
There are many forces in the world impacting our children today. Perhaps as parents our greatest responsibility to our children — and to our community — is to equip them to face those forces with character.
Geometry of a Leader
For-profit, Nonprofit, Education and Faith Leaders
It’s a difficult time to be a leader. Really difficult. Yet, the need for character-driven leaders is greater than ever. The Geometry of a Leader (GOAL) offers a much-needed retreat for leaders to step back, connect and reflect on how to lead with character, especially when it’s hard.
YF Leadership Luncheon
Character-driven leaders
On Thursday, June 5, leaders from across the Twin Cities will gather for the YF Leadership Luncheon (YFLL)—where a shared meal and shared commitment to character-driven leadership will create unstoppable momentum for shaping the future of our community.
