Impact Area
Leadership and Organizational Development
Leadership and organizational development are essential for realizing progress toward an equitable society where all people can thrive. The human services field is constantly and rapidly changing due to shifting demographics, technology, regulations, and community goals. To be effective, leaders need to be equipped with the skills to address complex challenges. Social Current supports transformational and systemic change where leaders collaborate across systems; authentically center community; shift power structures; and advance equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging.
To be able to proactively seize opportunities and create lasting impact, organizations need to be excellent and effective in their operations and systems; strategy, innovation, and change management; and culture, authentic engagement, and advocacy.
Our Approach
Our solutions equip leaders with the skills to address adaptive challenges, lead systems change, and create lasting impact. Social Current’s approach to leadership and organizational development:
1
Uses an equity, diversity, and inclusion lens
2
Is grounded in mission-aligned values and principles
3
Puts people first and values lived experience
Current Initiative: Equip the Flip
Social Current and the American Public Human Services Association (APHSA), with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, are working to create a new framework for the next generation of community-based and public sector human services leaders.
