The mission of the PPLF is to identify, enlighten, and encourage emerging leaders from diverse backgrounds, occupations and interests for the purpose of enhancing the quality of leadership in the region. The PPLF began in February 1996 with fifteen people who will participate in thirteen sessions over nine months. We will be offering a second PPLF beginning next year. If you are interested in applying to be a participant in next year's program call Garry Sanfacon at 258-7119. Community Workshops Series is an offering of civic skills building workshops to anyone in the region.
All workshops are free.
Over 140 adults and youth have attended these workshops. Student Leadership Project is a collaborative effort with the two area high schools to develop a program that will help create a more positive myth about government and community service. During the Spring of 1996 Gilpin students met and identified changes they would like to make at the school. They are currently planning on presenting their proposals to the school board. The goal of the program is to address the need for prevention programs in the mountain communities through leadership opportunities and performing arts programming.
