rience ranging from emerg
ing to seasoned. This training
is designed for a diverse mix
o f citizens representing busi
ness, governm ent and n o n
profit sectors.
Curriculum concepts in
clude:
Community capacity' and
social capital; personality
types and leadership styles;
c o m m u n ity d e v e lo p m e n t
models. Also:
The Catalytic Leadership
Model; asset mapping, group
d ev elo p m en t; m odels, for
group decision-making; .com
m unication strategies, and
volunteerism.
Each class selects a project
that they w ork on together;
for example, a local park im
provem ent.
The project helps focus the
course, c o n te n t on a real-
wo.rld situation. The Institute
provides up to a $5,000 match
in support o f the project.
Participants are expected
to volunteer outside the class
to complete the project within
one year.
