Leadership Academy

Leadership Academy is a two-month training designed for consumers who wish to develop the knowledge and leadership skills needed to become active leaders in the consumer movement and/or in the community at large. The Academy is sponsored by your Kansas Consumer Advisory Council for Adult Mental Health.

Participation in the Academy includes:

• 6 Academy days of Sessions (Students must Attend ail 6 daily sessions in order to graduate.)
• 1 elective class in the community
• 1 community service project

The community service project will be of the student’s own choosing and will be overseen by a mentor. Most of the mentors are fellow consumers, but some may be from the general public. Academy sessions are typically held in the spring in two consecutive months on three consecutive days each month. Each daily session includes 4 class lectures and a time to work on your projects with your mentor. Sessions usually run from 9:00 am until 5:00 p.m. all 6 days. Attendance for the full time is required. A class consists of no more than 25 students. Graduation is held at the Recovery Conference in June of each year.

There is no cost to the student for taking advantage of this opportunity. Car-pooling between students is required and lodging, meals, and mileage reimbursement will be provided.
