Leadership Training at Arka Brotherhood
Forge Leaders Through Brotherhood
In ARKA, Leadership Training builds men who lead by example. Our program invites every man into personal growth, but true leaders take responsibility for others’ evolution. Leadership Training at ARKA isn’t about titles—it’s about:
- Embodying authenticity and discipline.
- Speaking truth and holding space for others.
- Guiding squads with integrity and purpose.
Through Leadership Training, we prepare men to lead in their homes and the world, rooted in the values of our 14-point code.
At ARKA, we train men to lead — in their homes, and in the world.
Captain Training: The Path to Leadership
Over 80 Captains lead ARKA squads across North America, embodying men’s leadership through service. Captain Training, a core part of our Leadership Training, prepares men for stewardship, not status. Captains:
- Manage squad rhythms and guide initiations.
- Resolve conflicts with integrity.
- Uphold ARKA’s standards of brotherhood.
Every Captain starts as a member, earning their role through Leadership Training. Step into this path to transform lives, starting with your own.
Leadership Begins in the Circle.
Every ARKA man trains in leadership simply by being part of a squad.
He learns to speak the truth, listen with presence, and confront the places where he holds back.
In a squad, you build resilience. You develop discernment. You practice showing up when it’s hard.
This is the groundwork. This is the first threshold.
But for those ready to take it further, we offer formal Leadership Training.
ARKA Leadership Training Program
ARKA’s Leadership Program is a 16-week, members-only intensive that forges leaders through challenge and accountability. Limited to 10-15 men per cohort, led by top facilitators.
- 2-hour live Zoom training calls: Weekly Leadership Training sessions.
- Structured assignments: 1-2 hours of weekly reflections.
- A 180-page printed ARKA Leadership Manual
- : A guide to men’s leadership.
- Peer feedback, mentorship, and direct accountability: Honest insights for personal growth.
Participants are tested and stretched. Not all graduate—some receive feedback for further growth, others earn certification. All receive a detailed report from facilitators and peers. The goal: integrity, capacity, and readiness for Leadership outcomes.
- Weekly 2-hour Zoom meetings.
- 1-2 hours of weekly homework.
- Full attendance and assignment completion required for certification.
- Cost: $1400 CAD – an investment in Leadership Training results.
- Wednesday Cohort: Sept 10 – Dec 17, 2025
- Thursday Cohort: Sept 4 – Dec 18, 2025
Non-members should join a squad first. For external Leadership Training updates, join our waitlist.
The goal is not perfection.
The goal is integrity, capacity, and readiness to lead.
