Illinois Ignite is a three-day, two-night conference offered once each semester. Ignite focuses on organizational development and will help you with your level of participation and leadership in organizations.

Specific skills you will learn at Illinois Ignite include:

• Leading Change – Creativity, risk-taking, personal resiliency
• Project and Program Effectiveness – Organizing, planning, delegating, continuous improvement
• Systems Thinking – Complexity, critical thinking, politics, environmental factors, technology
• Community Building – Coalition building

During the Ignite program, you will work on a small project team and act as consultants to a real organization in the community or campus. You will learn how to ask questions to understand the organization’s issues and goals, learn about team processes, and ultimately create an action-oriented strategy your client can implement.

Ignite is FREE for all students thanks to our generous corporate and private donors!
