Program Management Certificate            

“I had a blast while gaining valuable advice on how to run an effective and workable after school program. Put simply, it's a great opportunity for potential leaders and I highly recommend it.”
- Keylatch Afterschool Director, '10

The Program Management Certificate is a seven-session training series that provides tools and knowledge all program directors and leaders should possess!

Every service program wants to provide high quality, consistent service, but programs are only as good as their leaders. Launched in the Spring of 2007, The Program Management Certificate was designed by staff and student leaders to include best practices applicable to all programs. By attending, directors build their own skills while learning ways to improve their programs.  As part of a small learning community, directors also build lasting relationships with other campus leaders, enabling better collaboration and best practice sharing.


The following topics are addressed:

-Visioning, Goal Setting and Leadership 
-Working with Communities
-Volunteer Management
-Project and Time Management
-Meeting and Reflection Facilitation
-Finances and Fundraising
-Program and Self Evaluation
