Educational Foundation Programming
- Leadership Eau Claire™
Leadership Eau Claire™ (LEC) combines leadership skill building with community education. During the nine-month program, participants get a bird’s-eye view of the issues facing the community, begin developing the leadership skills necessary to assume leadership roles, and are exposed to involvement opportunities in the community. Leadership Eau Claire™ is a highly valuable program because it provides a catalyst for community vision and change – it builds a better tomorrow for all of us. - Youth Leadership Eau Claire
Youth Leadership Eau Claire (YLEC) offers a unique opportunity to engage in our community & develop leadership skills. This nine-month program is specifically for high school juniors from area school districts. Students who participate gain a vast knowledge of Eau Claire, see career paths firsthand, and learn impactful lessons each day of the program.
