About Ignite Louisville and the Ignite Louisville Challenge
Presented by Norton Healthcare, Ignite Louisville is a seven-month program that provides emerging leaders with the skills, confidence, problem-solving abilities and connections essential to professional success. In addition to the core curriculum, the class participates in the Ignite Louisville Challenge where groups of 6-8 young professionals are put into teams to partner with a nonprofit agency. Teams combine the principles learned in Ignite Louisville with their own expertise in order to implement solutions for their partner agencies. The Challenge is an annual opportunity for teams of mid-level professionals from program to undertake a project for a local nonprofit, gaining experience in community leadership, board involvement and teamwork. Participating nonprofits benefit from the expertise and energy of the teams, who each invest hundreds of hours with their nonprofit agency as they compete for a donation to their agency.
