Who is this for?

WRLP is designed for Wisconsin residents with widely diverse backgrounds and experiences—rural, urban, and suburban.  They all share a strong desire to actively participate in meeting the challenges facing their communities.  Applicants are old enough to have demonstrated their leadership abilities but young enough to still be able to make significant future leadership contributions.  This includes individuals in business, education, social service, religion and government, just to name a few - people who want to improve and increase their leadership capacity.  The program is not a starting point, rather an opportunity for individuals who have already exhibited leadership capacity and are ready for the next level of intensive leadership development.   

Up to 35 participants (fellows) are selected for each two-year session. This is determined through an application and interview process. All applicants must be Wisconsin residents. Upon completion of the program, participants are awarded 48 Continuing Education Units through the Community, Natural Resource, and Economic Development Program Area, University of Wisconsin-Extension.
