Community Leadership Certificate Program

Now announcing the newly formed Community Leadership Certificate Program! Made possible by a partnership between INRC, Making Connections Indianapolis and Ivy Tech Community College of Central Indiana, we are excited to introduce and launch this new initiative.

This program offers official leadership training to the unique needs of neighborhood communities and their residents. Upon completing the 48 contact hour series of leadership focused courses, participants will earn their certificate of completion from Ivy Tech.

How does this work, you now have options. One option is taking part in INRC’s ICBI training listed above. If however you would like to pursue a certificate from Ivy Tech there are courses in addition to ICBI that must be completed.
