The nationally-recognized Rockwood Leadership Program specializes in delivering the best practices and methodologies in leadership development to the non-profit community.

 

Since 2000, Rockwood has trained more than 1500 leaders from thousands of organizations in the United States and Canada.

Our Leadership programs are led by nationally and internationally-recognized thinkers, educators and activists who are experienced in sharing the most in-depth, leading insights on leadership development, collaboration and capacity-building.

We have a vision--

  • Of thousands of inspired activists trained in partnership, communication, conflict resolution, team-building planning, and producing powerful results;

  • Of thousands of non-profit organizations endowed with the skill and heart to bring out the best in their people, collaborate effectively with allies of all kinds, and produce real, lasting change.
  • Rockwood is a non-profit founded by people with decades of experience in progressive non-profits.

    We have experienced first-hand the unique challenges facing non-profit organizations.

    We know what it is like to be working to make the world a better place.

    For us, it is simple - we want to change the world by helping the people who want to change the world.

     

     

    The Rockwood Leadership Program promotes social change through delivering expert tools in organizational leadership and collaboration to progressive non-profits.

  • Leading from the Inside Out delivers an intensive leadership development program in an intimate and highly-interactive learning environment to a select group of key leaders. Our year-long invitational training has emerged as one of the nation's leading 'learning laboratories' for experienced non-profit advocates and organizers.

  • There is no shortage of good ideas in the world. We believe it takes more than good ideas to change the world. It also takes skill, vision and heart. This is where we come in.

    Powerful leadership for social change can be learned. Rockwood's programs are designed to give you the most effective and powerful experience in the shortest time possible. We also seek to make the trainings accessible and affordable for a wide range of social change professionals.

    Changing the world is a difficult job. We're here to support you.
