Great Plains PHLI Curriculum

The Great Plains PHLI curriculum consists of 3 on-site meeting sessions and monthly distance learning modules. Additionally, scholars participate in a Mentor/Mentee relationship, peer coaching pairings, and a group-based project to strengthen their leadership skills outside of the formal training setting.
