Lead is dedicated to building a thriving community, so this community leadership program is not designed to make any profit but instead realize measurable civic returns instead. With this investment in our future leaders, we ask that participants of this program invest in themselves through the commitment this type of program requires. The total tuition fee is $2,500 over ten months. For those who might find this a barrier, partial scholarships are available based on stated need. A scholarship request form is provided below.
