Non-traditional leaders are the unsung stakeholders who are distinguished by their intuitive knowledge of how to get things done, their influence with others, their ability to cultivate new relationships, and their refusal to give up on their community. They are community connectors working below the grassroots; driven by enormous hearts and gifts to bring people together to actualize a com- munity enhancement vision. This course is designed to increase the capacity of non-traditional leaders to make a dif- ference in their community by enabling them to identify com- mon values, strengths, hidden assets, existing resources and leadership formations below the grassroots; so that they may design a common vision and take strategic action to enhance their community using the opportunities of the civic process.
