Celebration Event/Programme Close
Thursday 10 May 2022: This will be your chance to celebrate your fellowship with peers and facilitators. However, it is not the end of your leadership development journey. As a Clore Social Fellow, we will remain
in touch with learning opportunities and support unique to our fellows.
The programme learning will be guided by Clore Social Leadership’s Social Capabilities Framework and Leadership Development Model. Using our Leadership Development Model (below), you will learn how and what these skills and behaviours
look like in action, where your strengths and areas of improvement lie, and how you can develop and encourage them in yourselves and others. Using our Social Capabilities Framework (below), you will be guided to develop inspirational,
empowering, courageous, focused, passionate and generous leadership capabilities - qualities essential to any effective leader.
Leadership development must start with self-awareness. The most successful leaders critically assess their strengths, weaknesses, motivations and values. Leadership is tough, so it is also important to build physical
and emotional resilience, and look after their own wellbeing so they can respond effectively to leadership challenges.

Social sector ‘systems’ are rapidly changing. We live in a dynamic world that is transforming our workplaces, politics, ethics and communities. To meet these demands, social leaders need to understand the complexities
of changing systems. They must also be aware of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead to steer their teams and organisations, and make the most of what these changes offer.

No leader exists or succeeds in isolation. Social skills and empathy are required to inspire, motivate and empower others, whilst respecting diversity and celebrating the power that difference brings. Working with
and through others involves collaborating, forming partnerships, as well as inspiring and growing other leaders, all while making a positive social impact.

No, you don’t need to have any particular academic or professional qualifications to take part in the programme. We know that leadership development training can be very difficult to access in the social sector, so try to make
it accessible to those with minimal prior training. Your passion for and experience in the social sector are all you need to apply.
We classify the leadership experience required to meet the programme eligibility as professional, in-sector experience. This may have been accrued at different points throughout your career, at different organisations and can be
paid or voluntary. Emerging leader applicants should be able to display at least 3 years of such experience. If your experience falls outside of these criteria, but you feel you are otherwise well suited for the programme,
let us know why your experience is relevant and transferable in your application.
As a Clore Social Fellow, you will join a large network of social sector leaders from across the UK. Opportunities to connect with local fellows and continue learning will be supported, encouraged and facilitated wherever possible.
We are always developing new programme offerings, and may have something of interest to you in the future, so keep in touch, and let us know if you have any ideas, or want to develop something with us for your organisation.
We currently aren't offering bursaries for this programme. Should we offer bursaries for any of our Guided Programmes, they will be announced via our fortnightly newsletter.
Applications remain open until Monday 15 August at 11:59pm. Click the button below to start your application.
