Unwrapping our community, exposing complexities, making connections.
This comprehensive six-month leadership program is based on the successful model of Leadership Seacoast and similar programs across the country.
A group of 30-40 citizens who want to take a deep dive into the opportunities and challenges of community evolution will come together, hear from experts, and intersect around the issues in a highly immersive learning model.
Together, participants will explore the places, programs, and people that define Portland’s history, influence the immediate present, and chart our future as a growing, vibrant city.
