The program empowers participants to grow personally and professionally.
COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
Leading Together
A flourishing community relies on the engagement of diverse and passionate individuals who contribute to its success. However, many face internal and external barriers that hinder their ability to fully engage in the learning and collaborative opportunities within our community.
Our program aims to break down these barriers by providing professional development opportunities that equip participants with the skills and practices necessary to become effective leaders in their organizations and their communities. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the different sectors in Butte County, learn to harness their strengths and engage with others in a supportive and dynamic environment.
A key component of the program is the opportunity for participants to build a strong network with their cohort, as well as with the program's leadership and faculty. This collaborative network enables the exchange of ideas, experiences and resources, fostering lasting relationships that support continued growth and impact even after the program concludes.
This unique learning experience enables leaders to maximize their potential and make a lasting positive impact on their communities.
