 Our Mission: The mission of the Leadership Corps is to work effectively with others in building health services management capacity in underserved areas of the world.  Our Vision: The Leadership Corps will be recognized in the international health services community, with volunteers, and global partners, as effectively enhancing health services management capacity in underserved areas. | Welcome to the Leadership Corps website. Thank you for visiting. The Leadership Corps is a nonprofit organization that links experienced, professionally trained managers with managers from health services organizations in developing countries. The objective is to engage in a partnership-mentoring relationship whose short term goal is to bolster management and leadership capacity. The long term goal of the Leadership Corps is to enhance health services and create better health outcomes in resource limited settings by building management capacity. Many developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, are in desperate need of improving the managerial capacity of their senior and mid-level public health workforce. Health systems in these countries have an acute shortage of the right people in the right places. Additionally, health systems lack people who have “hard” management skills as well as people who have the managerial competencies to match their responsibilities. Consequently, health systems under-function and health programs have suboptimal outcomes. Volunteers in the Leadership Corps will be recruited from the growing cadre of retired and semi-retired health care managers in the U.S. Volunteers will be screened for selection into the Corps and then matched with partner organizations based on the needs of the organization and the skill set and time availability of the volunteers. Volunteers will work side-by-side with partners to mentor them and build managerial and leadership capacity through training in specific management competencies. Additionally, volunteers will work on projects identified through needs assessments and predeployment consultations with partner organizations. Volunteers will serve in-country and will also be asked to commit to an ongoing “virtual” mentoring relationship with the in-country partner to support leadership development over time. We offer a dependable, safe and high-impact experience for our volunteers, dedicated to improving the quality of life in developing countries.
