Challenge Days occur once a month. Each day examines a key community issue such as urbanization, governance, economics, education, healthy communities, safe communities, and arts, recreation and parks. Presenters with differing perspectives and leadership involvement in the community appear each month. Community Projects fill part of the ten-month period. Class members divide into teams to identify a community need and collaborate with existing community organizations in researching the issue, acquiring the necessary resources, and implementing creative approaches to the problems and opportunities facing our region.
Tuition covers all program activities and supplies.
Leadership Kitsap has a limited number of partial scholarships available each year. These usually go to students who would not be able to apply without financial help. The selection process is need blind. The committee searches for great candidates with potential to help their community. Enrollment begins in April of each year and applications are available at the Kitsap Chamber of Commerce and the United Way in Bremerton.
