Impact Leadership Resource Hub

There are many different roles across youth provision that include impact leadership to some degree or another. Monitoring, evaluation and impact might all appear within job descriptions or be full roles in and of themselves. This resource hub will support you to lead and manage these important organisational functions. ​

How to use the Resource Hub​

Leading impact is a unique leadership role. It is often a significant process of cultural change in organisations to be achieved by leaders with minimal resources and authority. It is a journey of learning and reflection for both individuals and organisations. Our resource hubs are digital resources to support your practice. The resources are collated from different organisations, sectors and countries, giving you a sense of the breadth of the field. They are designed to facilitate your self-directed study of impact leadership. The resources also support the learning you might do on our impact leadership sessions or programme, extending the learning further and deepening your application of theory to practice. ​

The resources in this Hub are structured around six key areas of leadership that meet the very specific needs of impact leaders. You don’t have to work through the sections in order, but we do recommend you engage with all of them; they are all equally important. ​You can dive into the theory or get practical advice via tools, tips and training for each area of impact leadership.​

It will take time – particularly in the beginning – to think about these theories and practices: but it is mainly time that is required, not necessarily external consultancy, expertise, or funding. So, whether you're just starting out, or looking to advance your existing impact leadership skills, you’ll find resources to support you on your journey. There are reflective tasks suggested after each resource to help you to apply the learning into your impact leadership practice so remember to come back from each resource to dip into them.

You may also wish to access our impact leadership training programme to develop your leadership skills more actively. You can find out more about the programme here
