Our Neighborhood Leadership Program 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 Neighborhood Leadership Training is framed around our Four Pillars of Neighborhood Vitality: Leadership + Governance, Health + Safety, Communications + Technology, and Planning + Development.

Applications are now being accepted for Cohort 11.

If you are active in your neighborhood organization or if you’re working to build an organization from the ground up, the Center for Neighborhood’s Cohort Neighborhood Leadership Training can help you develop crucial community-building skills.

 

Cohort 11 will be a FREE, 12-week series of classes, workshops, and fellowship occurring between August 27th and November 19th. Tuesday night regular sessions will focus on our Four Pillars of Neighborhood Vitality; Leadership + Governance, Health + Safety, Planning + Development, and Communications + Technology. Three Saturday workshops will include hands-on lessons in a UMKC computer lab and asset-walk training in a nearby neighborhood.

Tuesday evening classes are held weekly with dinner served at 5:00pm and classwork beginning at 5:30pm. 

Saturday workshops are usually scheduled 10am-12pm. 

The deadline to apply is midnight on July 3rd.

We hope you’ll join us this fall!
