Overview

Degree: Credit available Non-credit

Classroom Type: On campus

For more than 30 years, the Denver Community Leadership Program (DCLF) has supported individuals who are called to work on our communities' most complex issues -- those that can't be solved by one individual, one organization or one sector. This type of leadership requires values, skills, relationships, perspectives and actions beyond a traditional leadership approach. While critical for collaborative and adaptive situations, this leadership approach is also powerful and relevant within any organization or community.
