Leadership Oak Ridge

Leadership Oak Ridge is the flagship program of the Center for Leadership & Community Development.  As one of the longest, continually running community leadership programs in the country, Leadership Oak Ridge boasts over 1,000 graduates. 

The program features full day sessions, two overnight trips, a class project, out-of-class assignments and a graduation celebration at the end of the program year.  Participants learn about the issues and are challenged to discover how they can get involved and make a difference in the community where they live and/or work. Chuck Carringer will continue as the Leadership Oak Ridge program director for a third year, and his background and experience alone are a tremendous asset to the program. 

Tuition for the program is $2000 per person. A small number of scholarships are available (50% off tuition) based on need and are awarded by the selection committee. Only those applicants who meet the application deadline are considered for scholarship awards.
