Rural Area and Community Leadership Development Programs

Rural areas face many challenges and opportunities in today's economy. As rural areas face population decline and outward migration of young people, creating and nurturing an environment conducive to growing the next leaders is increasingly more important. We believe every community, no matter the size, benefits from a leadership program, customize-tailored to fit the unique and defining assets within each.

Overall outcome goals of our Leadership Programs is to: 

1. increase human capacity by developing individual leadership skills;
   
2. increase social capacity creating awareness of local, county and/or regional issues, as well as, state, regional and local resources and processes; 
   
3. increase cultural capacity by examining assets that give each community or region a unique sense of place;
   
4. create a culture of collaboration through nurturing group dynamics and building a network of relationships with current participants, leaders, both past and present; and
   
5. provide an opportunity for each year’s participants to incorporate and implement all they have learned into a collaborative class capstone community development, community betterment project
