Objectives of the Program
This Program provides a space for training and reflection that allows local leaders to become change agents, leading their organizations to evolve and achieve growth that can be both measured and felt.
Develop
participants’ awareness of their individual leadership strengths, which can be applied within and beyond AFS.
Enhance
strengths to ensure volunteers are equipped leadership skills that are relevant to our specific goals as an intercultural learning organization.
Strengthen
the link between volunteers’ awareness of their own strength and skills and their ability to multiply these as effective team leaders.
Produce
leaders who value teamwork and collaboration and can activate and empower communities that are both diverse and inclusive.

Theoretical Framework
Harvard’s Incomplete Leader model aims at demystifying the idea that leaders fully master all leadership skills. By understanding that perfection does not exist, people can assess their strengths, further develop skills and collaborate with others who can complement them. The model allows us to also focus on AFS-specific content, such as developing AFS community, teamwork and volunteer development.
