About
Green County Leaders
Program days are dedicated to both leadership development and learning about community issues and opportunities. Sessions are led by a variety of trainers, facilitators, and community leaders. Additionally, there are activities required outside of program days that provide outlets to use and refine skills, concepts, and tools introduced in sessions, and reading that are integral program components.
Through interactive community orientation, personal leadership development training, outside activities, and a hands-on team project, GCL provides participants with increased capacity to contribute as effective leaders and a great knowledge of the area in which they live and/or work.
Green County Leaders is a leadership laboratory that provides participants with opportunities to:
- Grow and practice leadership skills;
- Deepen understanding of community issues;
- Reflect on personal leadership legacy; and
- Strengthen and expand leadership networks.
