RESIDENT LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM

Our Resident Leadership Training Program empowers you to identify strength-based leadership skills within yourself and others, bridge generational divides and develop greater trust and connection amongst others, and transfer vision into reality. 

About The Program

The goal of the program is to hone the strengths of Waterbury residents, develop concrete leadership skills, and increase their sense of being agents of change.  This philosophy of engaging residents to establish positive relationship allows community to solve its own problems, obtain resources and support, and influence change.

The Resident Leadership Training Program, based on Neighborworks® America's Curriculum, consists of 8 courses.

Participants are required to attend a minimum of  6 of the courses to receive their Resident Leadership Graduate Certificate from NeighborWorks® and be eligible to participate in the national conference.

Applications for the 2026 cohort are OPEN!
