PASO ROBLES — Must! Charities has opened applications for the second cohort of its Leadership Alliance Program, designed to equip nonprofit leaders with the tools, connections, and vision to strengthen both their organizations and the community.

Applications will be accepted from Sept. 25 through Oct. 16. Selected participants will meet for the first time on Dec. 4. The program brings together nonprofit CEOs and executive directors for peer learning, problem-solving, and professional growth.

“Strong leaders build strong communities,” said Becky Gray, CEO of Must! Charities. “The  Leadership Alliance isn’t just about organizational success; it’s about equipping leaders  with the tools for professional excellence and personal growth. We’re creating a space where leaders feel supported, connected, and challenged to grow. Cohort #2 represents  an extraordinary opportunity to come together with fellow changemakers who are shaping  the future of our nonprofit sector.”

The four-week selection process may include follow-up interviews to ensure a thoughtful mix of voices and experiences. Must! Charities plans to expand the program in the future to support emerging nonprofit executives, reflecting its long-term commitment to building leadership capacity across the Central Coast.
