Each program targets a unique group of people in our community and are designed and coordinated by LPBC alumni. For more information, navigate to a specific program by using the menu on the left side of this page.

Leadership Program

The Leadership Program is a comprehensive, nine-month exploration of Palm Beach County’s leading industries and most pressing issues. Participants meet for one full day each month and complete a Civic Engagement project. Admission to the program is competitive, and applications are due in April of each year. Program tuition is $1,650.

FOCUS

The FOCUS program is a 2 ½ day intensive workshop designed for professionals who are new to Palm Beach County or whose schedules do not permit them to participate in the year-long Leadership Program. Registration for the FOCUS program opens in August. The next program dates are January 17, 24 & 25, 2013. Program tuition is $375.

Youth Leadership

Modeled on our core Leadership Program, the Youth Leadership program has become widely-known for its impact on Palm Beach County’s youngest leaders as they prepare for college and envision future careers. The Youth Leadership program is open to local high school juniors, who are admitted based on the recommendation of school administrators and faculty.
LPBC offers this program free of charge.

I am part of an organization that affects positive change in our community.
