Maurice Tandy-Patton didn't originally plan on making a career at the Y. But somewhere along the way, working with kids became something more, a chance to build a career around work he cared about and a community he wanted to serve.

Six years later, Maurice was one of five YMCA of Coastal Carolina staff members selected for L.E.V.E.L., a six-month leadership development program designed to help staff better understand themselves as leaders and continue growing from there.

Building a strong workforce for a community often starts with investing in the people who are already leading.

More than 20 years at the Y means Ms. Theo has watched a lot of children grow up.

Some now have children of their own. Some have come back to work at the Y. And every once in a while, someone she cared for years ago finds her and tells her what they remember.

Michael was one of them.

For Ms. Theo, moments like that are a reminder that you don't always get to see the impact you have on someone while it's happening.
"If you don't reach everybody, you're reaching at least one. And they reach other people."

What does it look like when an organization invests in the people who are already doing the work?

For five YMCA of Coastal Carolina staff members, L.E.V.E.L. (Learn. Empower. Vision. Engage. Lead.) meant six months of looking inward, stepping outside their comfort zones and thinking about the kind of leaders they want to become.

Created by Chief People Officer Kimaree Lewis with Cory Scheer of TrustCentric Consulting, L.E.V.E.L. paired leadership development with mentorship, giving participants space to reflect, take risks, have tougher conversations and learn from people invested in their growth.

At the Y, we believe developing leaders isn't only about preparing someone for their next position. It's about helping people grow where they are and equipping them to do the same for the people who come next.

A new leadership program is asking Y staff to look inward, stretch beyond what feels comfortable and consider how the leaders they are becoming can help develop the people who come next.
