Program 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 Leadership Essentials for Women workshop which includes a mandatory six-month follow-up in February.   

The second part is the Nonprofit Essentials classes, ten skill-building 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.      

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 in the Volunteer Engagement Training Program (VETP) under the ARPA rate are ineligible for this program.
