Cleveland Leadership Center is our region’s premier resource for leadership development and civic education that is community-based, intergenerational, and inclusive of leaders from all sectors of our community.

Cleveland Leadership Center’s mission is to build and engage a continuum of civic leaders committed to Cleveland’s excellence, and to serve as a catalyst for positive change in the greater community and we achieve this mission by offering a variety of civic leadership programs and engagement opportunities designed to foster civic responsibility; create a culture of leadership that is inclusive, collaborative, and progressive; and make a dynamic impact on the community.
