Registration is Open for the 2026 Emerging Leaders Institute!
Registration is Open for both Spring and Fall Sessions!
The Emerging Leaders Institute (ELI) is an interactive, web-based, six-week event for emerging leaders of youth and family service organizations. This experience focuses on the skills needed to support ongoing success. ELI offers online activities and learning sessions, small group discussions, peer networking, and individual coaching.
ELI is best for staff of youth and family service organizations who are new to their role, or are preparing for a new role as:
- Shift leader,
- Manager,
- Supervisor, or
- Director.
- Build agency capacity,
- Improve the quality of supervision,
- Improve program and organization impact,
- Reduce turnover, and
- Support succession planning.

Over the last few years, there has been an increased interest in ELI. The spring session is expected to sell out quickly.
