OneJustice's Strategic Leadership: Navigating the Now Registration (2026)

To meet the complex challenges faced by legal aid nonprofit executive leaders, OneJustice is launching applications for the Strategic Leadership: Navigating the Now - an advanced, six-month training program exclusively designed for executive and senior-level leaders. The program is designed for Executive Directors, Deputy Directors, and senior-level leaders who have completed OneJustice’s Executive Fellowship and/or have two years of comparable experience as an Executive Director, Deputy Director, or senior-level leader.

For any questions regarding eligibility please contact OneJustice at StrategicLeadershipProgram@one-justice.org. Please note, Executive Directors must approve participation in the program. Individuals of the same organization may apply.

Course topics include:

  • Strategic Leadership During Uncertainty: Gain practical frameworks for strategic problem-solving and communication during crises.
  • Tackling Complex HR Challenges: Navigate high-stakes personnel issues with care and precision.
  • Making Confident Finance Decisions: Strengthen your ability to make and communicate difficult financial choices, while learning how AI tools can support financial analysis and strategic tradeoffs.
  • Managing Up: Clarify roles and align priorities with confidence to improve Board and senior leadership communications and workflows.
  • Preparing for Successful Leadership Transitions: Prepare your organization for leadership transitions by reinforcing continuity, culture, and strategic direction during change.
  • Strategic Resource Allocation and Evolution: Respond to increased demand with fewer resources by identifying inefficiencies, leveraging AI for efficiency, and using theories of change to guide strategic resource allocation.

The fully virtual program emphasizes practical, actionable strategies that promote organizational strength and impactful leadership in these challenging times. It equips participants with frameworks, tools and support needed to lead effectively in today’s complex environment. Each month’s session includes a focused, interactive training, immediately followed by “hot seats” where participants meet with their peers to apply what they've learned to real-time challenges.

Tuition
The full cost of the program is $4,250. We recognize these are challenging times for some organizations, therefore a limited number of partial scholarships (ranging from 12% to 50% of the tuition) will be provided. Eligibility is based on available funds and OneJustice’s assessment of a set of criteria, including: the legal services organization’s annual budget as of the date the application is submitted, geographic service area, primary communities served by the organization, number of applicants per organization, and the challenges and opportunities facing the organization as articulated in this application.
