Student Leadership Program

Trust Your Instincts. Find Solutions. Seek Criticism. Create Change.

 

Build your leadership skills and become an effective leader on campus, in your career, and in your community! The Student Leadership Program (SLP) is designed to provide practical knowledge that can be applied to any leadership opportunity. Our program was built to complement the knowledge you are gaining in your program of study. It is for this reason that participants can work through the course material on their time when they find it most convenient!

By participating in the SLP, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Attend events and serve in leadership capacities in the community
  • Meet new people, learn more about yourself, and expand your skillset
  • Gain recognition on your Co-Curricular Record
  • Receive an official certificate of completion from Algonquin College

Want to join the SLP? You can self-nominate or be nominated by a staff member. Nominations are accepted each term.

The SLP Experience

There are four SLP levels, each providing online modules and activities on a variety of leadership skills and strategies. These modules are based on the core skills necessary for effective and sustainable leadership. SLP participants also have the opportunity to gain hands-on leadership experience through volunteering for Community Projects, to make a difference in our local communities. Here’s what each level offers:

Level 1: Leading Self

Level 2: Leading Others

Level 3: Leading Leaders

Level 4: Shaping Society

The Student Leadership Program is the beginning of your journey on the path to becoming a leader in society. This program will provide you with the tools necessary to be confident in stepping up when the right opportunity arises. The first step in any process can take the most amount of courage, but fortunately, with the SLP, it’s as easy as registering for the program!
