Empowering a network of socially conscious and community-oriented leaders is critical to advancing a just and resilient Evanston. While we don’t know what challenges tomorrow will bring, we do know that the path to a sustainable future will demand diverse, equitable leadership across all parts of our community.
ECF has been a hub for community listening, local leadership development training, and hands-on learning for nearly 40 years. To continue this legacy and forever Empower Leaders, we’re committed to:
• Offering inclusive and culturally responsive leadership training that embraces the knowledge and skills of all Evanstonians
• Harnessing the brilliance and experience of our community to build a stronger Evanston
• Supporting leaders at every stage of their journey to create meaningful change
“ We have a lot of leaders in our community who are not leaders in title but leaders in their neighborhoods and leaders of their families. We are giving them the space and the opportunity to enhance their skillsets and be in community with other leaders so they can grow.”
