L3: Leveraging Local Leaders

L3 strengthens Colorado by developing leaders who can meet their local challenges with clarity, collaboration, and purpose.

Our Vision

A Colorado where capable, connected, and community-minded leaders are driving positive change at the local level.

Our Mission

We identify, recruit, and train diverse leaders from across the state. We equip them with the skills, relationships, and confidence needed to serve their communities effectively.

Our Approach

We prepare leaders by:

  • Teaching practical tools that turn commitment into action

  • Fostering environments where people can engage openly and productively

  • Deepening understanding of public issues and policy

  • Connecting leaders to a statewide network of support

Our Work

L3 offers cohort-based programs, accelerated bootcamps, leadership and policy seminars, and facilitated community engagement.

Our Results

Graduates leave our programs ready to contribute to their neighborhoods, their boards, their local governments, and their civic life. They become the people others look to when things get difficult.
In short, L3 helps everyday Coloradans become the leaders their communities have been waiting for.
