Leadership Pikes Peak, Signature Program
Each year since 1979, a diverse group of business, government, and nonprofit professionals have been selected to come together for fourteen days over a ten month period for an in-depth exploration of the most important issues facing the community while learning from the community's most knowledgeable and dynamic leaders.
Leadership NOW! aims to engage, support, and mobilize young leaders to make a positive difference in our community. The program is offered to young professionals, age 22-32, each fall and includes eight evening sessions and one full day, Saturday retreat. The Leadership NOW! curriculum is more than an academic exercise. It is an opportunity to combine leadership practices, personal/professional growth and civic-mindedness toward the ultimate goal of individual and collective impact.
Women’s Community Leadership Initiative (WCLI)
The Women's Community Leadership Initiative, offers women of modest income a program which includes twelve evening sessions, held January through June each year. These women develop leadership skills and learn about the community in order to give back to the community that has supported them. This program is free to participants, expenses are covered by grants and community donations.
Experience the Springs is a day and half “community snapshot” for those new to the community or new to civic engagement who want to explore their community in a short period of time.
