BC Leaders for Others
BC Leaders for Others is a leadership development program open to all students who want to expand their leadership skills.
We focus on the Social Change Model leadership values of Citizenship, Collaboration, Common Purpose, Controversy with Civility, Consciousness of Self, Congruence, Commitment, and Change.
Students who participate in BC Leaders for Others will have an opportunity to reflect on and discuss their personal philosophy of leadership, the challenges they face in leading (and being led), and the skills necessary to effectively lead others.

Spring BCLFO Sessions
How do you maintain vision and common purpose through a leadership transition?
How can current leaders and incoming leaders collaborate to facilitate a successful leadership transition?
Leaders often have to have difficult conversations, whether confronting an e-board member who is not doing their job or listening to the concerns of others who feel left out or marginalized. How can you initiate and navigate these conversations successfully?
How can you effectively mentor and lead the next generation, especially when they all want your job? Figure out how to leave your legacy as a leader and inspire others to carry on your vision.
Start strong in the fall by keeping motivation and commitment high over the summer. What is your low-hanging fruit that you can start doing right now? What goals do you already have for September?
