Project Lead

“This was a life changing event for me. The knowledge and connections that I’ve made are priceless!”
—Project LEAD graduate
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.
