Leadership Development Program for Non-Profits

Leadership Development Program: Overview

Who is this for?

Laridae’s Leadership Development Program caters to experienced leaders, as well as those new to the role. It is ideal for you if:

  • You are currently, or will be, a senior leader or volunteer board member of a non-profit organization.
  • You want to better understand the value of healthy dynamics between executive leadership and the board.
  • You want to best leverage your capacity to lead your organization to have an even bigger impact in your community.
  • You are eager to learn, have an open mind, and are willing to try new things.

What you will get out of this program

As a non-profit leader, you will graduate this program with the practical know-how you need to avoid common but costly missteps, and guide your organizations with newfound confidence and clarity.

  • Deepen your understanding of good governance
  • Develop strategic clarity for your organization
  • Manage and mitigate enterprise-wide risk
  • Lead purposeful change
  • Tell a powerful organizational story
  • Plan for leadership transition and succession
  • Increase your impact and leadership potential

United Way of Peterborough & District and Laridae are partnered to offer the Leadership Development Program again in 2021, extending our strategic partnership to increase community capacity in the non-profit sector. Registration is open now until January 15, 2021. Spaces are limited to make sure that the program is accessible to smaller, local non-profits. This partnership has enabled a scholarship opportunity where recipients can receive up to 75% contributed to their registration fee.

For 1 in 4 Canadians who menstruate, period products aren't always in the budget. You can help address period poverty in our community by contributing to our Period Promise campaign.

This year, we're sharing our running total by item type on our website [link in bio], so you can see what we have, and what we still need, as we aim to offer a greater diversity of product to residents experiencing period poverty. - We're also accepting monetary donations, which will allow us to purchase items in bulk.

Product donations will be accepted at the United Way office (277 Stewart Street), Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM until Friday March 13. [Please note: We are closed February 16 for Family Day, and February 26 for Peterborough Performs and will not be present to accept drop offs.] 

If you’d like to get more involved with our 2026 Period Promise campaign, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team! We’d be happy to help you setup a collection at your workplace, share educational resources, or chat about any other ideas you may have.
