Leadership Winston-Salem (LWS) is proud to announce the selection of Pivot Ministry as one of eight Action Learning Project recipients. The purpose of the Action Learning Project is to assign a group of eight community leaders to focus on a specific need of the organization. The team works together to provide a solution or recommendation for an issue or goal during a nine-month immersive learning experience. LWS is excited to partner with Pivot Ministry to help fulfill its service mission to the Winston-Salem community.

Action learning projects bring LWS class participants together in a diverse team setting that fosters collaborative thinking and problem-solving. The Leadership Winston-Salem Action Learning Project program coaches new Flagship class participants through groups focusing on a project deliverable and the leadership learning process through inquiry, reflection, and feedback. ALP teams explore complex problems or potential opportunities for non-profit organizations through a fresh set of eyes and work together over nine months to meet specific goals that elevate how the organization impacts the community.
