Leadership takes more than management; it takes human connection.

To take on society’s most important challenges, social sector leaders must know how to break down barriers and build bridges. Where others may see organizations as barriers to change we see the possibilities. A vibrant social sector depends on leaders like you who are driven to build stronger, more inclusive, and impactful organizations that advance social justice and improve lives.

Taught by faculty working at the forefront of social sector governance, SSL is unique in its ability to provide students with knowledge about how mission-driven organizations operate in their communities and deep conceptual thinking about how these organizations can respond to complex social problems.

Your journey to social change starts from within. As an SSL student, you will be ready to apply a social justice lens to whatever challenges and opportunities your organization may face, advancing the kind of positive social change you want to see in the world.

Lead for Impact

As a professional with years of work experience, the SSL program helped to broaden my perspectives about the work that I do and the ways in which I could contribute to social change. As practitioners, it can be easy to focus only on the work in front of you and not perceive the broader implications. The experience I had at Crown helped to broaden those horizons mentally and eventually I saw that manifest in the doors that opened for me professionally.
