Overview
The Rising Leaders of Color (RLC) Program is a core TCG professional development program for BIPOC, and is an expansion and re-envisioning of TCG’s Young Leaders of Color Program (YLC) which launched in 2008 and TCG’s SPARK Leadership Program. The program’s structure brings national recognition to a cohort of early-career leaders, creates a learning space for affinity and accountability, and expands their network of empowering relationships with leaders across the country.
In 2022, RLC will form a cohort of six exceptionally talented early-career leaders of color from Pittsburgh, PA who are advancing their careers in the U.S. not-for-profit theatre and related sectors, and who demonstrate the potential to impact the field in a positive way.
Activities will span from May 2022 through June 2023:
- Late May 2022 (Online): Two-Part orientation meeting. The exact meeting dates will be announced at the time of notification. A detailed agenda will be provided in advance of each event.
- June 14 - 19, 2022 (In-person): Professional development workshops and events in Pittsburgh during the 2022 TCG National Conference.
- July - October 2022 and February - June 2023: Individual coaching, full cohort meetings, and professional development webinars on topics selected specifically for the needs of the cohort.
