The Civic Leadership Program trains participants in civic engagement, coalition-building, and creating systemic impact within schools and local government.
Participants learn about important leadership roles in service to schools, nonprofits, and governing bodies, as well as key issues and policies that affect our communities. The result is a strong cohort of engaged leaders, better informed and prepared to run for local office.
Modeled after School Board School, this is a FREE program for residents of Dayton, Ohio, that has been adapted by Learn to Earn Dayton to explore our community’s unique needs.
