Leadership Workshops
We Believe Leadership is for YOU!
We believe leadership is for everyone, and that includes YOU! Leadership skills can be learned and everyone has the capacity to lead in some way. Our workshops are here to help you tap into your own leadership potential!
We offer a variety of workshops by request to help students become more intentional, relational, and inclusive leaders during their time at OSU and beyond. By participating in our workshops, students will enhance their ability to create and advance positive social change both individually and collectively.
Participate in any of our workshops to develop your personal leadership identity so you can more confidently answer the question: Who am I as a leader and what am I working towards?
Our workshops are informed and tied together by our CEL Leadership Identity Model, which can be viewed at the bottom of the webpage: Our Approach to Community Engagement and Leadership.

Meeting your needs: our workshops are engaging and interactive through conversations and activities! Each workshop follows an established curriculum that we will largely stick to. However, we strive to meet your group's leadership development and team building needs as best as we can through the workshop facilitation. This form will ask about your group's mission/work and your goals for this workshop. We will tailor the facilitation to best meet your needs where we can. The co-facilitators will reach out to go over the plan beforehand. Please try to keep your goals within the scope of the workshops. If you would like to know more or have questions about any of the workshops, just reach out and ask! We will tell you all about the workshop and show you activities, materials, and answer any questions to give you a clearer understanding of what the workshop will look like!
