TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR GRADUATES
ON the program
"The caliber of this program is masters level, and they flawlessly packaged it into a six month sprint course on a shoestring budget.”
“Our group was able to create a space where each voice was heard.”
“I felt like I knew a lot of organizations prior to ENLA, but I feel even more connected to the people of those organizations now.”
“All in all, this is a super program, and I would highly recommend it.”
“[ENLA helped me] meet new colleagues in the Capital Region who I can grow with in the nonprofit sector and stay connected [to].”
“Overall, I think this program was 10/10 - the group experience allowed me to open up, be vulnerable, and learn so much about myself. I also built so many relationships that I hope to carry through and beyond.”
“Almost all my hopes were exceeded."
“As a whole, the program is set-up quite well. I value strong communication, and I feel like you guys nailed it.”
“This program was amazing. I love the different ice-breakers and conversation we shared.”
“It really was a life changing experience.”
ON LEADERSHIP
“ENLA has challenged me to grow as a leader. Learning and defining my leadership style has helped me so much.”
"[ENLA] allowed me to find a job where I feel more valued, and empowered to bring up change where I see it is needed. Overall, this experience has strengthened my personal and professional leadership skills in ways I would have never expected when I began.”
“ENLA provided me with the teachings, mentorship, and lessons to build on the leadership skills I already had.
It has helped me create lasting relationships with other nonprofit leaders, and I look forward to seeing what everyone in my cohort accomplishes, especially knowing what we all know now.”
“Truly this 6-months changed my life. Going into this, I thought I would learn some leadership/management skills, but it ended up being a personal journey and a journey to find out how to put myself first. I learned so much about how to be a good human-first leader, how to set better boundaries for myself and be vulnerable. I really didn't expect this, and I did not know how much I needed it.”
ON PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH
"I certainly would not have truly considered the job if not for ENLA.
I already feel so much more confident in myself. I am SO happy I am part of this program. Thank you!!"
“The experience that I gained from ENLA impacted and accelerated the growth of my start-up nonprofit.”
“Personally, ENLA was truly a catalyst for my professional growth, and surprisingly to me, a huge change for my personal growth. Being in this space that allowed for questions, honest truths, accountability, and genuine care was very new to me. And it reaffirmed to me that, “other spaces (even work spaces) can be like this too.”
"I really am a much more present, mindful and hopeful person because of ENLA.”
“This program touched on things that made us dig deep and become honest with ourselves to be a better self.”
“I think ENLA and my mentorship helped me to see that my skill set is more impressive than I had thought and makes me more confident that there are probably more opportunities for me to grow and move forward professionally than I'd realized.”
