Members of the Leadership Champlain Class of 2008 will gain insight into our community's issues in a unique way: through active learning, team-based learning, networking and exposure to community leaders. The Leadership Champlain program incorporates all this into eight day-long seminars, a two-day overnight retreat and two team projects over the course of the September through June program year.

Each monthly session is held at a different location, chosen for its connection to the session's topic. Participants will debate the law with Vermont's Attorney General at the Edward Costello Courthouse; they will tour the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility with the Vermont Commissioner of Corrections; they will learn about Government and Politics from legislators at the Vermont State House; they will experience how the media works from inside the newsroom; they will see first-hand the human service needs in our community and how they're being met; and they will discuss the critical issue of health care with our state's leading providers. This unique program will offer participants a first-hand look inside some of the many institutions that make up our community.

In the Fall participants will work with a team of classmates, studying leadership theory and interviewing a prominent community leader about his or her leadership style. In the Spring, they will engage in community leadership first-hand through a team project. For this project, they will work with a different group of classmates, first defining and choosing their project, then implementing it on behalf of a community non-profit organization.
