Call for Projects!

Leadership Centre County is accepting project proposals for our Community Leadership Program Class of 2027.

Every year, our incoming class is divided into small groups of 6–8 professionals, and they are tasked with developing and executing a sustainable, community-based service project for a local non-profit or charitable organization.

If your organization has a project that could benefit from a dedicated team of local leaders, we want to hear from you.

The application deadline is October 16, 2026, at 5:00 PM.

Project work will take place between January and May 2027.

Ready to collaborate?

As we kick off our program year, we would like to share some inspiring reflections from our opening retreat.

Like many of our students, Jessica McKeon brings a vital perspective to this year's cohort through her work in senior living and aging services at Foxdale Village Retirement Community.

We are incredibly excited to see how Jessica and her classmates collaborate, grow, and deepen their impact across Centre County this year.

Remembering 9/11.

Today, Leadership Centre County stands together with our community to honor the lives lost and the sacrifices made.

The resilience, compassion, and bravery shown by so many on that day continue to inspire our mission to serve in unity, empathy, and strength within our own community.

What does it mean to truly lead?

For Lindsay Schoch, Principal Planner at College Township, and a recent graduate of Leadership Centre County’s Class of 2026, leadership is rooted in deep care, connection, and empowerment.

The class was asked to reflect on their leadership legacy, and Lindsay shared a beautiful reminder of why we do this work.

True leadership isn't measured by what we build for ourselves, but by how we help others grow.

What do want your leadership legacy to be?
