Follow on Google News | Join a Community of Neighborhood LeadersCurrent or potential neighborhood leaders are invited to enroll in the 2011 Neighborhood Leadership Academy, designed to offer hands-on training emphasizing community building principles to create more livable communities
By: University of Missouri–St. Louis This program, created in 2002, connects university resources, including the Community Partnership Project, Nonprofit Management and Leadership Program, and University Extension, to residents and neighborhoods interested in creating more livable communities. Through the Academy, each participant completes a personal leadership development plan, designs a community-building project for their neighborhood, and makes a presentation about their work to their classmates. Participants who successfully complete the program receive a Certificate in Neighborhood Leadership from the Chancellor of the University of Missouri–St. Louis and 3.0 Continuing Education Units. More than 100 neighborhood leaders from throughout the St. Louis region have participated in the NLA, learning the skills and building the networks necessary to create livable communities. There is a $400 fee to enroll in the NLA. The fee includes all instruction, box dinners at evening sessions, continental breakfasts at Saturday sessions, and parking. Most sessions are held at the J.C. Penney Conference Center (Room 126) at UMSL. Some are held at community sites.
