The second “Emerging Nonprofit Leaders” class attracted 20 representatives from nonprofit organizations across Central Virginia. Class members participated in eight months of leadership training, which is provided by “Nonprofit Learning Point” and supported by VCU’s Division of Community Engagement.
 
Damon Jiggetts of Communities in Schools of Richmond Inc. served as class speaker. 

“The experience has allowed us to be honest with ourselves, identify our strengths and enhance our growth,” Jiggetts said. “Our collective growth will allow us to better serve our agencies.”
