Leadership Lafayette

This week Class 54 explores Education, Belonging & Youth Advocacy. Our day begins with the community partner luncheon and ends with a tour of Greater Lafayette Career Academy. Check out these photos from Class 53's experience where they learned from Derrin Slack at Know More. how to advocate for all members of our community.

Each November we look forward to our Community Partner Luncheon where we celebrate the incredible organizations and advocates who support Leadership Lafayette. Special thanks to our host, the Convergence Center and sponsor Wabash.
