Community projects link participants with community groups and provide hands on leadership experience, complete with all the challenges and opportunities that exist in the community. Each project is a team activity that often matches a group of participants from the current class with a mentor/liaison from a sponsoring organization and support from Leadership Asheville.
The projects provide opportunities for people to learn together, utilize their leadership skills, and create networks that support the development of community capacity and social capital. The term social capital refers to far more than just warm feelings about community and good works; it emphasizes a wide variety of specific benefits that flow from the trust, reciprocity, information, and cooperation associated with social networks. Social capital creates value for the people who are connected, and benefits others. These benefits include things like increased volunteerism, increased philanthropy, better directed and implanted corporate social responsibility programs, increased social participation, and better citizenship.

A significant component of the Leadership Asheville program is learning about leadership, teamwork and collaboration through a community service project. Utilizing this part of the program, we are able to provide the critical elements that the Center for Creative Leadership identifies for an effective leadership development experience: assessment, challenge and support.
Community projects are meant to assist participants to develop their leadership skills and provide a deliverable to the sponsor-a leadership capacity that they could not otherwise have accomplished. Community projects are an integral part of the curriculum of the nine month long program.
