Leadership is needed more than ever in these times of great uncertainty. The kind of leadership that inspires courage and hope, and which enables people and communities to build the power needed to win the change they want to see.
The Leading Change Network is a global organizing organization rising to this challenge by developing the leadership and organizations needed to shape the emerging world.
As organizers do, we’re building teams of people who share a passion for developing leadership and expanding democracy, and who are willing to commit their resources of time and skills to help us on this mission.
Could this be you? If so, come and join one of our volunteer teams!
