Course Details

From Harriet Tubman escaping slavery and becoming a leading abolitionist, to Dorothy Richardson organizing her Pittsburgh neighbors and founding what became the NeighborWorks network, to your next-door neighbor organizing a child care program or a community garden, women have been at the forefront of social justice and community development movements. But their contributions have not always been properly recognized and they are often not well represented in influential leadership and executive positions in community institutions. In this course we explore and celebrate women’s contributions to the field, identify the special contributions they can make to organizational culture, and define strategies to support their continued engagement and advancement to leadership roles.
