Leaders are not born, they are made. Sure, some of us are born with strong more outgoing personalities and often our society attributes that to being a "born leader". However, we believe in the potential of every person; male, female, young, old, rich poor, citizen or immigrant. True leaders are those that take the time and intention to lead. They are not afraid of difficulty and adversity.

On behalf of the Canyon Corridor Neighborhood Alliance, we are seeking applicants for our Leadership Training. Training sessions are provided for current and emerging leaders who live, work or volunteer in Canyon Corridor community.
