Since 1995, many of the 450+ LEAD graduates have run for and/or been on city councils, school boards, commissions, or assumed nonprofit leadership roles.

Details:

• Sessions will run on Wednesday evenings from March through May, with a half-day Saturday kickoff workshop on the morning of February 25, 2023
• Topics will include local government operations, advocacy, community building, civic engagement options, inclusive leadership, and civil discourse
• Presenters and speakers will be predominantly from organizations based in Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, and Mountain View
• Participants will work on an experiential project together
• Class size is limited to 25 to enable strong interaction and fellowship
• Cost to participate is $500 (sliding scale as needed)
