Co-Serve
works to support seven servant leadership communities around
the world who are engaged in servant leadership development
in their countries. These include the KAFU Servant
Leadership Center (Kazakhstan), the BGKU Center for Servant
Leadership Development (Ukraine), the Karen Leadership Development Program
(Thailand), Harvest Leadership Community in Africa
(Nigeria), Shepherd's Home of Servant Leadership
(Philippines), the Institute for Leadership Development
(Afghanistan) and New Hope Academy (Afghanistan). One primary form of this support is to
organize experiential learning events for the staff and
students of our partners, to help them grow more deeply in
their understanding of servant leadership. These events
include our Servant
Leadership Academy programs held each summer and
our Partners Conferences held every two
years.
Co-Serve's Servant Leadership Academy (or "Academy") program is designed to help students
learn from real-life examples of servant leadership. In 2024, we will be
operating our Academy in Oregon in mid July. The Academy
will introduce students to a series of amazing organizations which
are striving to live according to servant leadership
principles. These examples of love and service have a powerful impact on
students. Through these experiences, the Academy programs
work with students to help them consider their own purpose in life.
In 2024, we will also be operating our Partners Conference in early October
in Kazakhstan. This event, which we hold every two years, gathers our staff
and partners from around the world for an important time of encouraging each
other as we grow together in a deeper understanding of the principles and
practices of servant leadership.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
We are expecting that 20 students from our partners around
the world will attend our Academy program in Oregon in 2024. We anticipate needing $10,000 to pay for
the operating costs of the Academy program and another $10,000 to
provide some travel assistance to financially needy students. And, we
we are expecting that 25 staff and partners will attend our Partners Conference in Kazakhstan. We need
$7,500 to pay for this event and another $7,500 to provide some travel assistance to some of our
financially needy partners.
