About the Event

Impact Denver puts up-and-coming professionals on the fast track, learning about community issues, discovering their authentic leadership style and completing a project with a small team during this six-month program. Offered twice a year, participants can start making an immediate impact.


  • Meet over six months in two full days and four half-days to learn about regional issues, meet influencers and build your personal network
  • Connect in a small-group setting to explore and unleash your unique leadership expertise
  • Make a di­fference by working as a team on solving one of Denver Metro's biggest challenges and present to influential community leaders
  • Become part of an influential network of diverse leaders as a Leadership Foundation alum

As an integral part of the experience, the project offers participants a hands-on opportunity to engage in regional issues.


Is this the right program for you?

Impact Denver is ideal for young professionals or those just beginning to get involved in the community who can commit to engaging in the program over six months.


Here's what you will learn: deepening your knowledge on civic issues in our community and the civic leadership skill sets to enact meaningful change in those issues (think understanding the challenge, stakeholder viewpoints).


Here's what we won't cover: typical "business skills" such as public speaking, managing up, etc.


The content design is 80% learning about the civic issues and 20% civic leadership skill set development.
