Alpha Phi Omega strives to develop our members as leaders through service to others. This approach builds the leadership skills of our members while fulfilling a need on campus, in the community and for the youth in our communities, therefore leaving a lasting impact on our nation.
Alpha Phi Omega develops the leadership skills of its members through shared leadership. Our members have the opportunity to serve as a chapter officer or to plan and execute any number of volunteer projects and social programs, as well as have the chance to participate in a variety of leadership development programs sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega.
In addition to the experiential leadership gained through providing service, our organization facilitates educational programs to help guide our members through the process of becoming a leader or improving their leadership skills. These programs consist of both online and in-person workshops and are presented by trained volunteer staff. The following programs are offered to members of Alpha Phi Omega who seek to improve their leadership skills, both for work within APO and in their professional lives.
The APO LEADS leadership development program consists of five modular components of leadership development – Launch, Explore, Achieve, Discover and Serve. Each of the components address a different aspect of leadership growth that allows attendees to continue developing skills no matter their level of experience. Collectively, this series is designed to equip attendees with the skills to enable them to be successful leaders and team members in any situation they encounter in college and beyond.
