Our Community Leadership Program

Our annual program combines an opening orientation, monthly evening classes, and a collaborative community service project. Participants learn together, connect with local leaders, and explore how they can contribute to the Hermosa Beach community.

The class project turns that learning into practical experience. Working as a team, participants identify a community need and take a project from an idea to completion. Along the way, they practice planning, communication, fundraising, problem-solving, and collaboration.

The result is more than a completed project. It’s a group of people better prepared to work together and serve their community.
