MidWest Leadership School is a program of the Central Midwest District of the UUA in collaboration with the Prairie Star and Heartland Districts.
MidWest Leadership School (held concurrently with MidWest Youth Leadership School) – is a part of the Unitarian Universalist Association’s nationwide network of leadership schools. Complementing other district offerings, this school offers a week-long intensive program in which leadership and group dynamics can be developed and reflected upon. Led by lay and ordained staff with a deep understanding of UU congregations, a combination of lectures and small group encounters heightens understanding and the ability to navigate group process. By immersing the student in a milieu both supportive and challenging, the MWLS experience provides leadership tools and skills, develops the student as a leader, and deepens the student’s Unitarian Universalist identity and understanding, all designed to prepare students for leadership in UU congregations and beyond.
Check here in the early Spring of 2012 for DETAILS AND REGISTRATION!
This is an extremely intense week of workshops, discussions, intimate small groups, worship preparation, personal theological exploration and growth. MWLS does not simply skate on the surface of teaching, but invites all to dive deeply into developing. As we all “lean into our discomfort” many times during the week, students discover the rewards that come from rising to meet challenge. In exchange for wholehearted commitment to a strenuous schedule, MWLS offers a life-changing and congregation-nourishing opportunity.
Registration is open to applicants age 18 and older, from member congregations in the three sponsoring districts (Central MidWest, Heartland, and Prairie Star) and to seminary students not yet in candidate status. Congregations are encouraged to send teams.
Brochures will be distributed to congregations in March. DOWNLOAD the MWLS 2012 Brochure (80.04 kB). E-mail: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
