scenes’ look of our community and the ability to leave Corona a little better than they found it! Through collaboration and innovation, participants will conceptualize, design, and implement a Community Impact Project as their class signature. The ELR class of 2022 unveiled the Pathway of Hope and Healing—a row of engraved benches and trees at Santana Park, intended to bring awareness, hope and healing to those impacted by Fentanyl overdoses. The
ELR class of 2021 hosted the ELR Limitless Youth Conference, which was created to support foster youth aging out of care homes. The conference helped prepare them for the transition through networking, inspirational stories, and grants. There have been so many incredible projects through the past 40 years, but the best part is that accepted participants will take this journey with 20-25 other leaders that vary in career paths, personalities, backgrounds, beliefs, and skill sets. If you are a current or impending leader in business, government, non-profit, education or any other public or private sector who wants to learn, grow, expand your knowledge, expand your network, and have fun, then we encourage you to apply! Deadline for submitting your application is July 22, 2022.
