SynoVation Valley Leadership Academy (SVLA) is Valley County’s innovative leadership development program that recognizes breakthrough ideas come from passionate individuals. The academy is committed to inspiring participants to new personal levels which will positively impact participants as individuals, their family and their community.

SVLA wants to empower you to design the best version of yourself. Unlike most programs, which utilize knowledge only based classes or trainings, our programs are experiential, adventurous, energized, and supportive coaching experiences that will empower you to truly transform your life. Our leadership coach brings expertise in neurolinguistics, neuroscience, positive psychology, leadership, and emotional intelligence to go beyond sharing knowledge into actually developing your capacity for change, for building optimistic workplaces, and for creating new levels of influence.

SynoVation Valley Leadership Academy has three grand strategies to inspire change agents:

INSPIRE: SVLA brings new knowledge, ideas and networking opportunities to inspire new perspectives.
CREATE: SVLA introduces new relationships and strategies that will build confidences, direction, aspirations and skills that ignite your leadership passion.
INNOVATE: SVLA fosters and transforms new behaviors and skills to positively impact your life and community.

The SVLA youth curriculum has been piloted in Ord and Arcadia schools as an 8th grande course to foster leadership concepts for our local youth. An advanced leadership course has also been implemented at Ord High School. The youth curriculum was published in May 2015.
