Connecting with your community – that's what 70-plus emerging leaders do over six months through Impact Denver (ID), a program offered by the Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation.
Each year, the Leadership Foundation connects teams of young professionals to community organizations who need those engaged leaders to take on a project that will help the organization make a greater impact.
“It’s an opportunity for these passionate, civic-minded leaders to channel what they’re learning and talking about during Impact Denver into a real-life project,” said Leadership Foundation Executive Director Dan Lewis. “Their work strengthens the community and often creates long-term relationships between our participants and these community organizations.”
This year ID participants partnered with 20 community organizations. One ID spring 2018 team partnered with the North Denver Cornerstone Collaborative (NDCC) to create a women’s mentorship program the city can replicate beyond northeast Denver.
