What is the Frederick Leadership Academy?

The Frederick Leadership Academy was designed to serve as a foundation to the City’s commitment to partnering with the neighborhoods to identify problems and formulate creative neighborhood based solutions by providing “neighborhood partners” with tools to effectuate change in their community.

Course Offerings?

Courses on such topics such as Community Mediation, Effective Team-Building, City of Frederick Operations/Community Trends and much more will be lead by leading community practitioners.

Class size will be limited to 25 participants; however, many more people may register for the Frederick Leadership Academy. The small class size will foster an informal education friendly atmosphere, which lends itself well to role-playing, and question/answer sessions. Courses will be offered on a quarterly basis.
