Time Commitment Confirmation
This cohort will come together for in-person learning/site visits one Saturday each month, with each of these gatherings bridged together by a syllabus of readings and activities that community members can complete remotely, individually, or in small groups.

The tentative time commitment for each of these in-person Saturdays is 10am-5pm:
4/27, 5/11, 6/22, 7/27, 8/24, 9/21
Given the rigor of the fellowship, we do have an expectation that fellows are engaged to their fullest ability. Please select the 1-2 boxes that apply to you. *
Required
In-person meetings will take place in various locations across the SGV, and participants will be required to transport themselves to those meetings locations. Additionally, we are able to make this leadership development program free by leveraging community spaces such as faith-based institutions, schools, and other locations. *
