Tempe Leadership

Category: Leadership Training Programs

Tempe Leadership educates program participants on the strengths, needs, and challenges facing Tempe. The organization currently consists of a nine-month adult program and a youth program, plus a volunteer-engagement program, Tempe Cares. Program curriculum includes two issue days per month, where participants learn about education; business; government; environment and transportation; human services; media; crime and justice; and higher learning in the Tempe community. Class members also shadow a community leader of their own choosing and work on a class project. The class is responsible for working on the project outside of class time, developing project budgets, and conducting any necessary fundraising.
