Leadership Saskatoon
Leadership Saskatoon is a not-for-profit educational program designed to promote leadership at the community level by exploring the realities, opportunities and challenges of our community.
It was established through the joint sponsorship of Saskatoon Community Foundation, the Saskatoon and District Chamber of Commerce and the University of Saskatchewan. The McConnell Foundation, which also funds ArtsSmarts, provided start-up program funding and asked Saskatoon Community Foundation to act as a catalyst in the community. Saskatoon was one of only nine communities in Canada chosen to receive start-up funding.
Students enter into a dynamic, 9-month adult education curriculum centred around issue days and community projects, and involving mentorship, readings, self-assessments, site visits, interviews with current leaders, seminars with guest speakers and experts, group discussions and projects.
In 2003, Saskatoon Community Foundation established the Leadership Saskatoon Award, which provides $2,500 an employee or volunteer with a registered charity to participate in this personal leadership development program.
