Project Blueprint: Strengthening Nonprofit Leadership
Launched in 2022, Project Blueprint is a transformative training program designed to diversify and strengthen nonprofit board leadership. The program offers two tracks: one for nonprofit organizations and one for individuals.
- Organizational Track: This track helps nonprofits build more inclusive, culturally competent, and welcoming boards by equipping them with tools to recruit and retain diverse board members.
- Individual Track: This track prepares individuals from underrepresented communities to take on leadership roles within nonprofits. Participants will gain essential skills in inclusive leadership, intergroup dialogue, conflict resolution, communication, and board governance.
“Project Blueprint has helped me become a more effective board member and better serve our community.” – Program Participant
Apply for the Organizational Cohort
To apply, each organization must include participation from both an executive board leader and an executive staff leader. Selection will be based on:
- Motivation for applying
- Commitment to the Lancaster County community
- Contribution to the strength and diversity of the cohort
Applications for future cohorts will open at a later date.
Join us in building stronger, more inclusive nonprofit leadership.
