The YGL Leadership Development Program is a 5-month program that utilizes a cohort model that will provide a supportive environment to develop targeted leadership skills. Participants will have the opportunity to cultivate professional multi-agency connections while engaging in the training sessions. 

This 5-month leadership development program is offered to government employees (federal, state, local, and tribal) at grades GS 5 through GS 11 (or equivalent) and is designed to close leadership development gaps for government employees. 

Program Overview

The YGL Leadership Development Program responds to a gap in the available leadership training for government professionals. It is offered through a competitive application process rather than through a financial investment on the part of the participant. The goal of our program is to prepare entry to mid-level (GS-11 and below) public servants to address the challenges of the federal government by developing new skills and fostering meaningful relationships.
