LEADERSHIP ACADEMY AND TRAINING INSTITUTE We are proud of the evolution of the Leadership Academy Training Institute (LATI) from a backyard idea more than two decades ago to a fully-fledged training academy housed in our building and named after its founder and former Community Chest CEO Amelia Jones. LATI operates to the same values and aims of those early days, which is to serve the capacity building needs of under-resourced community organisations, particularly those in marginalized communities. The demand for our training programmes have grown to such an extent, though, that we now offer them to span the entire civil society spectrum, including NGOs, government and parastatals as they work towards addressing poverty, striving for equality, justice, and humanitarian approaches.
WEBINARS Our Leadership Academy and Training Institute hosted a series of thought leadership webinars during 2020 with key civil society leaders. These included:
Non-Profits and the Reset Message: What Awaits Philanthropy Post-Lockdown Women, Trauma and Mental Wellness in a Global Pandemic Non-Profits and the Reset Message: The Donor Response Post-Lockdown Non-Profits and the Reset Message: The Sustainability and Viability of the NGO Sector in a PostCOVID-19 South Africa Virtual Master Class: Maintaining Good Governance in Times of Crisis Women in Leadership and Their Resilience in Times of Crisis
