Leadership Exploration and Development

Students can grow their leadership and citizenship skills through Emerging Leadership Training (ELT), Foundational Peer Leadership Training (FPLT), Advanced Peer Leadership Training (APLT), LEAD Essentials workshops, and Exec YU training.

Students can develop or strengthen their leadership and citizenship skills by partaking in Emerging Leadership Training (ELT), Foundational Peer Leadership Training (FPLT), and Advanced Peer Leadership Training (APLT). The LEAD program also offers stand-alone LEAD Essentials training workshops and Exec YU training for students in formal leadership positions (CCSC affiliated student clubs and organizations).

The Colleges recruit Faculty of Health students who are passionate about positively influencing their community to become Peer Leaders. Work/study and volunteers undergo mandatory FPLT and Student Success Program-specific training to equip them with the necessary skills to support their peers. Peer Leaders can also further their leadership skills either at the Colleges or through off-campus opportunities.

All LEAD programming is developed and delivered by a team of passionate Leadership Coaches who are committed towards your personal growth.
