DEVELOPMENT —
Development supports multicultural leaders in the Teton region to locate their vision of success — from finding their voice, to sitting on the board leading our community in a space they are passionate about.
Multicultural communities lead community change.
The pathway
Take it one step at a time, or keep going all the way to a board seat or elected.office.
STEP ONE
Lead Forward
A leadership entry program. Self-discovery, community and the tools to share your voice.
STEP TWO
NextLevel Leadership
Building on the basics. We get tactical and focus on concrete leadership skills — from finance to governance.
STEP THREE
Visionary Voices
Support stepping onto a real board or working group — with a stipend because leadership is work.
Lead Forward
A journey of self-discovery, development, and community building. You'll learn what it means to lead, and leave able to say your values out loud, lead with compassion, and change things where you live.
Nine months, seven sessions, one cohort. You start with your own voice and values, pick up the communication tools to carry them, and learn to read the professional world instead of being read by it.
From there it gets practical together: supporting each other through hard things, working as a team, studying how movements before us actually won, and setting the boundaries and self-care that let you keep going.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
WHO
All immigrants and multicultural community members. No previous training required.
WHEN
Nine months, every year. Meeting twice monthly for 2 hrs.
NextLevel Leadership
Advanced strategy and application. This is the year you get fluent in the machinery — budgets, governance, conflict — so the room stops being intimidating and starts being yours.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
Five sessions that take you from understanding the system to working inside it. We start with where power and professional norms came from, then get comfortable with the money — budgets, statements, funding streams, risk — so board conversations stop happening over your head.
The rest is what it takes to stay: thriving at work, handling conflict with clarity, and backing up people around you.
WHO
Lead Forward graduates, or equivalent experience
WHEN
Five months. Meeting twice monthly for 2 hrs.
Visionary Voices
The Immigrant Leadership Fund puts everything into practice. Leaders take real seats in the community - on working groups, advisories, and boards.
A Real Seat
You step into leadership in a community entity — a board, an alliance, a working group.
A Monthly Circle
Once a month, leaders meet each other to strategize, problem-solve, and compare notes.
A Stipend
The Fund compensates leaders for the time their community leadership asks of them.
Lead Forward or equivalent experience, a strong flourishing and general well-being score, and solid time management.
WHO
WHEN
Every year. One year commitment.
