The Community Coalitions Leadership Program is a series of community-based leadership trainings. These trainings are designed to build awareness and key leadership skills among students, parents, and educators. The purpose of these trainings is to build grassroots community capacity to fully participate in and help lead the work of The Promise.
The CCLP trainings will focus on key skills to maximize participants’ effectiveness as community leaders, organizers, and change agents. Training topics will be finalized based on community input through listening sessions. All participants will receive a certificate after completing the program.
CCLP trainings have been designed to remove potential barriers to participation. Participants at each training will be provided with a participation and/or transportation stipend, a free meal, and free childcare.
Trainings are designed to accommodate a limited number of parents, students, and educators and are planned to kick off in Summer, 2019.
