The Kacmarcik Center partners with Newaukee for the LEAP Institute
Nonprofit professionals are known for their passion and commitment to the greater good. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes work that goes into successfully leading a non-profit organization. Also, far too often, non-profit and community leaders lack the professional support needed to truly thrive. That’s why the Kacmarcik Center for Human Performance is partnering with Newaukee to offer the LEAP Institute to our community’s non-profit leaders.
The Kacmarcik Center was built on the basic concept of helping people flourish wherever they are. Our founder, Jim Kacmarcik, has a long history of championing the efforts of social impact organizations. Partnering with Newaukee to uplift and equip non-profit leaders through the LEAP Institute fits the mission of the Kacmarcik Center.
