As Alpha Phi Omega has as it's three cardinal principles: Leadership, Friendship, and Service; of COURSE we have a national leadership program!
Our "signature" leadership program is APO LEADS.
APO LEADS: A Personal Odyssey of Learning, Leading, and Serving
APO LEADS is the leadership development program of Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity. It was created to fulfill a portion of the the vision statement of the fraternity.
"Alpha Phi Omega will be the nation's foremost campus-based, inclusive, service-oriented, leadership development organization for university and college students by building upon its advantages and strengths as a unique and diverse Fraternity."
The APO LEADS program consists of five individual modular components of leadership development. Each of these modular components focus on skills that will help the participant be a successful leader and team member in Alpha Phi Omega and in life. At the completion of the series of courses, the participant will have a set of transferable skills that are applicable to Alpha Phi Omega, to the working world, as well as to leadership in other organizations.
The five components of the APO LEADS program are:
LAUNCH; Launching your leadership development
EXPLORE; Exploring your leadership strengths and potentials
ACHIEVE; Achieving success through teams
DISCOVER; Discovering your management strengths and skills
SERVE; Serve the Fraternity and the world as a Leader
Alpha Phi Omega members completing the APO LEADS program will be recognized for the dedication to their own leadership development and furthering the principles of the Fraternity.
The great thing about APO LEADS programs is that they can be presented to just your chapter or at a conference. The only limitation is that you must have a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 30 in attendance.
