The LeaderShape Institute has developed a national reputation as a premier leadership development program for young adults. The LeaderShape Institute is an intensive and energizing six-day program open to any participant, institution, or workplace interested in producing extraordinary results in an organization and developing a commitment to lead with a high level of integrity.
The 2020 session will take place Saturday, March 7th to Thursday, March 12th. This year’s Institute will be a joint session with NC State, so students will have the opportunity to learn with NC State and UNC-CH students.

Participants’ travel (from a meeting place on UNC's Campus), lodging (group cabins) and meals are all provided for the entire week. The 2020 session is planned to take place at the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain, NC.
