Leadership Training Opportunity for MYPG

Enhance your personal leadership skills while impacting your community! MYPG is being tapped to participate in an eight-session leadership training pilot program taking place this spring. In an effort to increase and improve leadership abilities for current and future community leaders in Delaware County, the program, partially underwritten by the Ball Brothers Foundation, will help you nurture and optimize your learning style, leadership skills, and hidden talents in your personal, professional and civic life.

Program participants will be asked to help create a vision for Muncie and Delaware County, to offer insight on ways to improve the quality of life within our community, and to engage in collaborative and connective approaches to community problem solving.
