Our Neighborhood Leadership Training is a 12-week course with a selected group of neighborhood leaders, advocates and residents from Kansas City, Missouri neighborhoods and homeowners associations. These volunteer leaders work together to build their organizations, their Board, and their team. They also learn from each other through our Sister Neighborhoods “Sisterhoods” program, which pairs organizations together for the duration of our program and beyond.
Cohort occurs twice a year and features a 12-week series of classes, workshops, and fellowship. Tuesday night regular sessions focus on our Four Pillars of Neighborhood Vitality; Leadership + Governance, Health + Safety, Planning + Development, and Communications + Technology. Saturday workshops include hands-on lessons in UMKC computer labs and asset-walk training in a nearby neighborhood.
