Welcome to Leadership Cumberland

We have developed leaders to serve the community since 1989. Nearly twenty years of service to the Cumberland County area; and we are still going strong! Over 270 individuals have graduated from the Leadership Cumberland program. Our students come from a diverse group of local employers and government agencies and more than 85% of them continue to volunteer and serve their community after graduation.

The main focus of Leadership Cumberland is the 10-month leadership development program that begins every August. The program curriculum is based on non-profit board governance, with an emphasis on PA state government organization and function. Each student participates in a monthly seminar, interns on a non-profit board of their choosing, and experiences membership on the class public issue forum board.

While our students differ in age, background, and professions, the each share a common trait - the motivation and desire to take on greater responsibilities in the community and at work. We are excited about the Leadership Cumberland program and what we offer the community and our students. We know that Cumberland County is a great place to live and work; help us make it an even better place to 'give back.'
