The United Way African American Leadership Development (AALDP) - Application Now Available

The United Way of Rochester is looking for its next cohort of participants in the African American Leadership Development Program (AALDP). To read more specifically about the program, please click the link entitled AADLP. AALDP is a unique development program that identifies, trains and promotes the placement of African Americans in policy-making positions at community organizations in the Greater Rochester area. The primary focus of AALDP is the development and application of effective leadership skills and competencies in one's professional and volunteer pursuits. The connections, experience and relationships built throughout AALDP are invaluable to individuals, organizations and our entire community as we all come together to help Rochester thrive.

The training is nine days in length and the curriculum topics include, but are not limited to communication, leadership, decision-making, conflict resolution and board membership responsibilities. Please note that because many of the meeting times are during the workday, you will need the support of your supervisor and/or the Vice President of your division to participate in this program.
