community Leadership Course
The Community Leadership Course (CLC)is a 10-week course for adults offered every Fall. Participants spend one day a week immersed in different children’s issues and learn about effective child advocacy campaigns. Upon completion, participants often join CCC’s Advocacy Council for additional civic engagement opportunities. |
