Program Description & Requirements. There are two distinct parts of the Women's Emerging Leaders (WEL) program and participants must fully commit to attending both.  The first part is a mandatory intensive 2-day Leadership Essentials for Women workshop which includes a mandatory six-month follow-up session from 11-1 pm in February.  Dates for these sessions are on the webpage.

The second part includes 10 skill-building Nonprofit Essentials classes jointly offered by HandsOn NWNC and Wake Forest University's Office of Civic and Community Engagement.  These half-day classes meet in the afternoon from September through June.  Dates for the classes are on the webpage.     

Evaluations/Action Plan. Program participants will be required to complete an evaluation at the end of the Leadership Essentials for Women workshop and develop a personal Leadership Action Plan. Participants must also complete a 1-year overall evaluation, the purpose of which is to determine whether the program has helped strengthen the participant’s leadership skills/capacity and follow up with progress on the Leadership Action Plan. 

**Due to the nature of the ARPA grant, participants who have attended the Volunteer Engagement Training Program (VETP) under the ARPA rate are ineligible for the ARPA rate for this program.
