All aBoard
.
All aBoard is a yearlong leadership development program designed to train members to serve in leadership positions in the Junior League of Fort Worth and in the community. The program was developed as part of the Junior League’s mission of “developing the potential of women.”
Cohort members are trained on topics such as governance, advocacy, and finance for nonprofits, as well as goal setting, public speaking, and general leadership skills.
Founded in 1929, the Junior League of Fort Worth is a charitable nonprofit organization of women committed to promoting volunteerism and improving communities through “action and leadership” of trained volunteers.
The 2023–2024 All aBoard cohort also participated in the BoardBuild training program. BoardBuild is a nonprofit organization that trains emerging leaders to serve on nonprofit boards. BoardBuild also helps match nonprofit organizations with board candidates.
As part of the program, members heard from community leaders from the Junior League of Fort Worth, the City of Fort Worth, and the local community.
