LWS is excited to partner with Pivot Ministry to help fulfill its service mission to the Winston-Salem community.

Action Learning Program (ALP) Overview:
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.

Dec 14, 2021

Graduates of Pivot’s Fourth Class with their Mentors

On Saturday, December 11th, Pivot held a graduation ceremony for its fourth class of participants (Click here to watch on YouTube.) We are praising God for:

• Three women who persevered through personal challenges and remained dedicated to completing the semester with Pivot!
• Amazing instructors who taught and equipped the participants to make positive, life-transforming choices!
• Scores of volunteers who spent hundreds of hours the last four months – everything from mentoring, to fundraising, to providing lunch, and so much more – is done by these faithful folks!
• Community partners who help identify potential participants and connect them with resources to allow them to take steps in the right direction!
• Financial and prayer supporters who keep this ministry going!

We’re so grateful for all these things and our God who makes then possible.
