BIPOC Women Leadership Program
2023-2024
The 20-week learning experience includes the following:
Eight women will participate in a paid, interactive, skill application-focused training program.
The program will run for ten weeks for 2 hours per week. The training will be facilitated by Kimberley Richardson a licensed social worker and graduate of last years BIPOC cohort.
Weeks 1-5 will include a discussion and skills building using the Kouzes and Posner Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership.
Weeks 6-10 will consist of weekly two-hour training/discussions with the lead facilitator plus guest BIPOC women leaders. These sessions will deepen participants understanding of the principles they learned during the first five weeks and how to apply them in the workplace or other leadership environments.
Finally, under the guidance of different leaders, following the initial 10-week training period, each of the eight participants will choose an organization in Brookline or beyond to serve as an intern for the remaining 10 weeks.
