Colorado Change Leader Program

The Colorado Change Leader Program teaches cultural and community leaders how to handle change in organizations, communities, and their daily lives.

The program is made up of a(n):

• institute
• certification project
• network of participants

The institute is a biannual three-day course to prepare leaders for a certification project. If your certification project meets certain requirements, you may receive a $500 stipend to implement the project. The network provides participants a way to continue engagement with current and past participants of the program.

Since we began this model, evaluations suggest that people gained personal, organizational, and community skills. Our surveys show:

• 95% of participants credit the institute with increased skill in leading change
• 95% of participants gained skills they can apply to community projects
• 90% of participants report enhanced leadership awareness and ability
