Do you need help building a team, running effective meetings, understanding leadership styles, creating a community service project or achieving your goals? At the NSLP office, we offer customized workshops on these topics — and many more — based on the specific needs of your club, group or organization.
Before you request a workshop, please see if the topic is already offered through our Workshops for students. If you don’t see a Workshop that meets your needs — or if you need to schedule a workshop for your group or class — please request a workshop using the Workshop Request Form here.
