Even though I had a great job and a college degree, I didn't feel I qualified for a seat at the 'big table' - until I went through Leadership Pasadena. Now? Yes, I belong at the table!" - LP Alum
"The LP experience was a tremendous personal growth period as I wanted to rise from being a neighborhood leader to a leader involved with community-wide issues. LP gave me the leadership skills, community relationships and confidence to serve on Pasadena’s Parks and Rec Commission, the Board of the Pasadena Educational Foundation and the PUSD Board, even serving as PUSD Board President. Without LP, I don't think that I could have achieved a leadership role in Pasadena and have a chance to make Pasadena an even better place to live, work and play. Leadership Pasadena literally changed my life."--Tom Selinske
Leadership Pasadena is a powerful, hands-on, community leadership program that immerses you in Pasadena’s rich history, government, economics and world renowned organizations and institutions and also provides executive level leadership training. This is an energized, dynamic program for those who want to play an active role in Pasadena’s future. It challenges and engages emerging and existing leaders who come from a diverse array of professions, communities, ages and passions.
Our graduates serve as knowledgeable leaders on non-profit Boards or staffs, sit on city commissions and neighborhood associations, run for public office, lead socially responsible businesses or become empowered, engaged citizens. And, they find friendships based upon similar interests that last for years. Please see details on the page for the 8-mo Community Leadership Development Program under the "Program" tab.
While our intent is to benefit the greater Pasadena community, our participants become great leaders in their homes, neighborhoods and businesses as well.

Military veterans are welcomed into the community to lead and serve our cities through our Community Leadership Course for Veterans Initiative (CLCV™).

The Course leverages the many skills and experience of veterans by exposing them to leadership networks and opportunities for community service to the and fast-tracks their success as high-potential leaders in the community and desirable employment candidates or employees ready for advancement. Please see details on the page for the Community Leadership Course for Veterans under the "Program" tab.
