Journey Application

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Journey Leadership Institute begins with a combination of training on core values, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness. After developing a deep understanding of self, Journeyers will continue to grow and develop as they participate in each of the 8-monthly topic-based workshops. Each Journeyer will also be assigned to a Crew which will be composed of 5-8 Journeyers and a Crew Leader who will lead them into deeper discussions. Crews will meet in between monthly workshops. Learn more about Crews.

Monthly workshops will cover:

  • Self-Leadership and Emotional Intelligence  
  • Conflict Management
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
  • Effective Communication
  • Values-Driven Leadership and Culture
  • Leadership and Performance Management
  • Influence and Power
  • Effectiveness, Innovation and Change Leadership

Attendance:

Regular attendance is a vital component of active learning. Attendance is mandatory for all activities assigned to complete the GYP Journey program.

Class Participation:

Participants will be expected to complete any required preparations prior to class attendance and engage in active discussions with leaders, peers, and facilitators. Each Journeyer is allowed  1 emergency excused absence during the program. Missing more than 1 Journey workshop may result in expulsion from the program. If you are not able to fully commit to attending all workshops and crew meetings, we advise you to consider applying at another time.

Applications for this year’s Journey cohort are now open! The Class of 2024 will be announced on August 1!
