Students, faculty or staff wishing for training and leadership development for their group, class or club may contact the Leadership Program. Often groups need help getting started or need to work through conflict; a teambuilding session facilitated by an outside person can move the group toward their real goals.  

Resources such as books, films and handouts are available for checkout. Facilitators and presenters can provide workshops and teambuilding activities on a variety of topics. The Leadership Program can also advise groups on sites to hold group retreats.
