LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM

The Leadership Training Program of the Hala Foundation is designed to create a cadre of highly trained, informed and focused young Arab-American professionals equipped to take on the advocacy and organizational efforts required for community leadership.

The Leadership Program provides extensive training in:

• Command of the Issues: mastery of both information and arguments
• Presentation Skills: making the case effectively
• Interpersonal Skills: making friends and influencing people
• Organizational Skills: mobilizing the community
• Collaborative Skills: building effective teams
• Coalition Building Techniques: finding unexpected allies
• Continuous Improvement: developing long-term relationships with trainees

PUBLICATIONS

The Leadership Program will also produce publications outlining effective methods for public advocacy on key issues, and analyses of how to advocate for specific issues to different audiences and through different media. These will constitute how-to manuals for Arab-Americans on the most important issues facing the community.
