A Scan of Health Leadership Programs for the Youth, Immigrant and Senior Communities in California

The California Endowment (TCE) has developed a multi-pronged leadership development strategy. One component of that strategy funds exemplary programs that represent models of boundary-crossing leadership work in the health arena. After making a series of grants, the TCE leadership team seeks to learn more about the health leadership needs in Senior, Immigrant, and Youth communities and whether current leadership development efforts are meeting those needs. This scan is designed to assist TCE in supporting effective leadership development that contributes to improving the health and well-being of Youth, Immigrants, and Seniors by identifying opportunities to expand current efforts and illuminating where gaps exist.

I was humbled by the sense of urgency with which the group of 20- to 30-year-old leaders tackled the global issues of human divide and the environment, developing action plans that connected their own work in ministries, as journalists, as community organizers, and as academics to these issues. read more »
