Event Details
While the profile of Chapel
Hill and Carrboro is always in flux, there remains a
constant need for talented leaders. Leadership Chapel
Hill-Carrboro is a program designed to ensure that there
is a pool of Leadership talent for our future. Participants
will learn about the social, cultural, political and
economic facets of the community from today’s
leaders. Through exchange of ideas, community experiences
and leadership skills building sessions, participants
begin to develop specific interests in the concerns
of their community and emerge equipped with the skills
and knowledge to impact their communities. Leadership
participants complete the Leadership “Passport,”
an agenda of community projects and exercises, as well
as the Small Miracles® project, which pairs Leadership
students with area non-profit organizations to learn
about their missions and needs. |
