Through this journey, individuals will prioritize self-nurturance and self-care amidst the demands of advancing their organizations' missions. Cohort sessions will be held on Sundays from 2:00 - 3:30 pm, beginning April 21st and ending June 16th. Participants will also receive two 30-minute individual coaching sessions.

This cohort is designed for Executive Directors of locally-serving nonprofits, and a priority will be given to organizations with less than a $1.5M budget, although all are welcome to apply. Organizations must be headquartered in the DMV and do the majority of their work locally.
