What is the name of the career development model developed by the YMCA of the USA?

Commitment-Driven Leadership Model
Cause-Driven Leadership Competency Model
Community-Centered Leadership Framework
Service-Driven Development Model

The correct answer is: Cause-Driven Leadership Competency Model

The correct answer is the Cause-Driven Leadership Competency Model. This model is specifically designed to support the YMCA's mission and values by outlining the critical skills and competencies needed for effective leadership within the organization. The term "cause-driven" reflects the YMCA's focus on addressing community needs and furthering its social impact through leadership development. The model emphasizes not only the need for technical and operational skills but also the importance of personal attributes such as values-based leadership and a commitment to community well-being. It serves as a framework for training and development programs, ensuring that YMCA leaders are equipped to champion the cause of the organization and inspire others in their communities. In contrast, the other options do not align with the specific terminology and focus of the YMCA's established leadership development framework, which centers on addressing community needs through effective leadership.
