The LEAD GC class for 2026 is now forming!

Behind the Program

LEAD GC is coordinated by UWGC Executive Director Dr. Dan Jurman, facilitated by UWGC Board Member Claire Riggs and RCSJ Associate Vice President Candice Racite, and made possible thanks to generous sponsorship from RCSJ, Atlantic City Electric, and Acenda Integrated Health, with additional support from Columbia Bank.

Over nine months, from September until May, participants will take part in leadership workshops, panel discussions, and site visits across Gloucester County. Each session dives into critical issues facing our community…ranging from local government and economic development to healthcare, education, and nonprofit leadership.

And when the program concludes in May, graduates won’t just walk away with new skills and strong networks. They’ll also earn a Nonprofit Governance Board Certificate, preparing them to serve as volunteer leaders with organizations making a real impact in our county.
