APO LEADS
APO LEADS is the leadership development program of Alpha Phi Omega, National Service Fraternity. It was created to fulfill a portion of 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."
APO LEADS programs can be presented to just your chapter or at a conference, with the exception of the SERVE. SERVE is a weekend summer program that is held at rotating locations around the country. The only limitation for each course is that a minimum of 12 people and a maximum of 30 must be in attendance. Members completing the APO LEADS program will be recognized for the dedication to their own leadership development and furthering the principles of the Fraternity.
LEADS Courses
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 personal strengths and success skills
- SERVE; Serving the Fraternity by using management skills in your chapter
