In addition, participants will learn 5 of the core skills directly from the Fanning Institutes’ adult leadership training curriculum.

 

Participants will also work in groups to develop a service project that they plan and complete as part of the experience. This is a great opportunity to meet new people, become more involved in your community, and build your own leadership experience.
