Project Lead
A healthy, vibrant community happens when everyone is engaged in civic life. And yet, here in ethnically and racially diverse King County, too many people of color are left out of the public conversation.
United Way of King County is changing this with Project LEAD—Leadership Effectiveness And Diversity. This nonprofit leadership training program prepares highly qualified people of color to become knowledgeable, responsive and strong civic leaders. In 2012, Project LEAD celebrated its 20th anniversary.
For more information, contact our Project LEAD staff at 206.461.5014 or projectlead@uwkc.org.
“This was a life changing event for me. The knowledge and connections that I’ve made are priceless!”
