The program includes two distinct components. The first involves in-depth, experiential learning on different aspects of county leadership, such as agriculture, education, government, economic development and public safety, designed by distinguished county leaders and culminating with a Leaders on Loan project, where learners work in a small group to support a non-profit organization in the county. The second is a leadership curriculum offered by organizational leadership experts from Hood College, which includes graduate-level masterclasses on leadership skills, such as mindfulness, influence, collaboration, emotional intelligence and creativity, culminating with an individual project to present a “Leadership for Service” vision to serve the community.
