Student Leadership Training & Skills Development

As part of Student Community and Leadership Development (SCLD), our goal is to build and support student leadership at York University, by focusing on developing the six core leadership and career competencies outlined within the Becoming YU program. Our programming will focus on increasing students’ leadership capacity, community engagement & social impact on campus.

Throughout the Fall/Winter Semester, the Centre for Student Community & Leadership Development offers a variety of Leadership Workshops to the Student Community. Our leadership workshops offer a rage of topics focused targeted to student leaders on campus while creating new opportunities for emerging and aspiring student leaders.
