Community Leadership Training
Designed to empower the community

The purpose of the Dr. Jenny Laster Community Engagement Academy (JLCEA) is to train community members to become community leaders. Community Engagement is defined as the process of working collaboratively with groups of people affiliated by geography, special interests, or issues affecting their wellbeing. It is only through this collaborative work that issues affecting communities will be solved. During the four months of the leadership academy you will learn the steps to work together to make positive change by promoting citizen participation and planning actions which will lead to accomplishing needed change and positive results in your neighborhood.

Enrollment Criteria: Must be a resident, business or community-based organization in the Avondale or Walnut Hills Community. Students are required to attend 6 of the 7 classes to graduate from the Academy.
