Leadership Training Opportunities - Teens and Adults

The Wilder Foundation is running two programs this fall, one for adults and one for teens, that are focused on building neighborhood leaders. The teen program is for kids 14-18 years old and is FREE. The teens design a community action project while working with other teens from across the city to understand themselves and community work. Deadline for applications is Thursday September 24.

The program for adults is a 6 month commitment to leadership development. It involves two sessions a month and an overnight retreat. There will be up to 30 participants, and the cost is $100 (actual value is $3500). Some scholarships are available. Childcare and food is provided at each of the sessions. Deadline for applications is Monday September 28.

If you are interested in either of these programs, contact Patty Jo Verdeja at 651.280.2457.
