Request for Proposals

LEADership Action Teams 2009-10


Learn, Experience, & Leave a Footprint


LEAD San Diego is able to directly affect positive change in the non-profit community through Leadership Action Teams - the service learning component of the 9-month flagship IMPACT SAN DIEGO program.  Leadership Action Teams (LAT) of about 8-10 class members are matched with area non-profits that need the kind of help and expertise that these individuals can provide. In 2009-10, teams will be deployed to work on six community projects which will be drawn from community-based organizations in San Diego County's low-income, traditionally underserved communities. These LAT efforts will harness the talents, energies and resources of local community members to make substantive changes in a community or organization.

The partnership between the team and the non-profit is mutually beneficial. Class members get a first-hand glimpse into the world of an underserved and/or under-resourced community, while enhancing their leadership, teambuilding, relationship building, and collaborative skills. The organization gets a valuable and tangible result, and builds relationships with team members that surpass the goals and life of the project. Former LAT members have become board members, volunteers and supporters of their partner organization.
