Learning to Lead™ BC
The Learning to Lead™ BC Leadership Development Program is an annual program held at the University of British Columbia and the University of Northern British Columbia. It provides young girls, emerging leaders and graduate students with the opportunity to be mentored by accomplished women leaders in business, government and the community.
It brings together 25 grade 11 Students, 25 emerging leaders-young and transitioning professionals and 25 business and community leaders from around the province to interact and learn from one another through a series of workshops and activities. A special effort is extended to ensure inclusion of the Aboriginal women’s community. The objective of the program is to provide tools for all participants to achieve their personal, educational and career goals, as well as to advance opportunities for participants to pursue leadership roles in all facets of society including business, government and the community.
Since its inception in 2002, the Learning to Lead™ BC program has touched hundreds of lives, including:
- 374 Grade 11 Students
- 374 Emerging Leaders
- 374 Community Leaders
- 157 Facilitators
- 116 Feature Speakers
- 317 Organizing Committee/Volunteers
The Minerva Foundation thanks Lis and Bruce Welch for sponsoring awards for students who participate in our Learning to Lead™ North and South programs. These awards encourage students to take what they have learned in the program and use these skills to initiate a leadership activity in their community.
