Welcome 2022 Leadership Program Cohort

On January 8, we kicked off our 9th annual Leadership Program cohort, a group of 22 community members who want to learn how to become more effective agents of change.

Participants meet monthly to learn how to prepare and plan an environmental advocacy campaign for a local cause. Upon completing the program in August, the cohort will present their learnings and campaign plans to friends, family, and fellow alumni.

This year’s cohort is filled with passionate new advocates and longtime community leaders. Bios of alumni in previous cohorts can be found here. The bios of the 2022 cohort will be posted in the coming month.

More About Green Foothills’ Leadership Program

Launched in 2013, Green Foothills’ Leadership Program convenes, trains and invests in local community leaders of all backgrounds through an 8-month training and an associated alumni program.

Alumni are supported in their advancement into leadership roles at nonprofits, public agencies, and community-based groups where they lead initiatives for environmental conservation, justice, and inclusive public process. Green Foothills supports alumni in their community change work. Alumni are often key partners in our advocacy on local land use issues and provide perspectives on equitable, inclusive environmental activism.
