- Encourage a culture that nurtures new leaders that include youth, young adults and people of color
- Develop a community of learning and reflection that appreciates new ideas and is patient with the small failures that come with innovation
- Advance your seasoned leaders into new roles where they nurture new leaders
- Develop a three year plan to help guide your congregation through this transformation

Lots of great resources. Thanks. Look forward to the Fall classes. I’m hoping to have a team of people from UUNB to register.
Wonderful! 🙂
Thank you for this great sample course. I am looking forward to the Fall 2016 session courses. I do hope I can enroll in more than one because I wish to enroll in all of them because I like the descriptions and feel that as a Board member all of them would be a great advantage.
Thanks! You can enroll in more than one!
Great! 🙂

This is listed as a sample course with no start date. When will it be available?
Thanks.
Hi Molly!
If you are a registered user, you should be able to click on the “take this course” button. This is an on-demand course that you can take at your own pace. 🙂
So far I have not found a course that has started. Am I missing something?
Hi Charlene,
All of the Fall courses have started. Check out the tutorial page about how to enroll and take the courses. http://www.uuinstitute.org/tutorial/
Our LDT would like to take the leadership course but being in the panhandle of Florida we do not have a Community of Practice to attend. We are struggling with about a 66 member congregation where many of the folks are covering several areas. Could we create our own I house community?
I did not find a PDF of the personnel journal that you described. The other documents are very helpful.
Thanks for a great job!
