Mission Statement

LeaderSpring's mission is to foster high-performing nonprofits by strengthening and connecting the people who lead them. We achieve our mission by awarding two-year, on-the-job Fellowships to diverse cohorts of nonprofit leaders and their agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Description

Since 1997, LeaderSpring has awarded 144 exceptional leaders and their agencies with an intensive program of leadership development, management skills training, professional coaching, customized mentoring, peer learning, and networking. As a result, Fellows and their agencies are improving the social, economic, and personal opportunities of hundreds of thousands of people who reside in San Francisco Bay Area's most impoverished neighborhoods.

The majority of LeaderSpring Fellows are women and people of color, and they typically represent the communities they serve. Fellows lead organizations with a wide range of missions, including education, health, housing, economic development, and advocacy and community organizing.

Through our Fellowship, we achieve: (1) High-performing, innovative nonprofits; (2) Development and retention of top, diverse leadership and managerial talent in the nonprofit sector; and (3) Improved quality or expanded scope of critical social services and advocacy programs that support low-income communities.
