Since 1980, GTL has graduated more than 800 participants and expanded their leadership pursuits. Through a competitive application process, we select approximately 40 individuals to participate in our 10 month long leadership program. Our goals for the class are: 1) to engage in relevant community and regional issues; 2) to connect and engage with political, community and cultural leaders and, 3) to encourage each participant to implement a community and individual leadership practice.
Our curriculum is comprised of experiential/field components, social service components and leadership practice components. The ten month program is held once a month during work hours (7:30 am to 4:30 pm) on the second Friday of the month. We start in August and wrap up in June. Included in the program are an Orientation/Retreat, a mid-program Leadership Retreat and a Graduation Ceremony.
Investment: empowerment of community and individuals
We link individuals to community opportunities, business training, mentoring, and a support network that can help them start or expand their leadership.
Connection: opportunities and network
As the only civic leadership program in Tucson, we engage the public, private and academic sectors to provide a stimulating platform for our leadership program and serve our community
