Since 1986, Leadership Howard County has successfully grown a community of engaged citizens. Through informative sessions and service projects, the LHC program has had an impressive impact: more than 1,275 graduates have completed the Premier program, and it is estimated LHC alumni have volunteered more than 75,000 hours of support to Howard County nonprofits – equal to an investment of more than $1.8 million in our community.

Each year, LHC offers a limited amount of need-based financial assistance to both Premier and Leadership U applicants. Tuition only partially covers the cost of the program, and many more requests for financial assistance are made than can be filled.  Our goal is to ensure the inclusion of participants from diverse backgrounds and organizations, and sustain the value of the program into the future. Your donation to either of the funds below assists the critical development of future leaders:
