Upper Arlington's future leaders now have a chance to sharpen their skills and make meaningful connections through the Leadership UA Class of 2026. This locally-focused leadership program, gearing up for its next cycle, has an established track record of enriching participants with a deep knowledge of community operations, networking, and practical leadership training. Whether you're living or working in UA, if making an impact strikes a chord, this initiative is worth looking into.
Running from January through June, the program promises a deep dive into the dynamics of Upper Arlington—spanning history, government, education, and community services—misplaced modifier for those who are ready to move beyond standard civic engagement.
With more than 30 years of experience, Leadership UA not only fosters personal growth but also actively contributes to the community. Graduates from this program have often translated their experiences into tangible benefits for the city, with a grand finale that sees them become grant-makers to local nonprofit projects.
According to the City of Upper Arlington, applications for the upcoming class are currently open, with a tuition of $1,000 covering all associated costs, meals included. Employers often shoulder a portion, if not all, of the fee, recognizing the investment in their employees' development. The opportunity also extends to those in financial need, with partial scholarships available to ensure broader access to its resources.
Interested individuals can find further details and submit their applications through the Upper Arlington Community Foundation's announcement.
