About Leadership Arlington


​The program seeks to identify potential community leaders, educate them regarding civic engagement and leadership opportunities, and provides the graduate, and their sponsoring company, access to a wide network of like-minded professional leaders.  Leadership Arlington is committed to identifying leaders from various geographic, ethnic, occupational, and economic segments of Arlington. ​
One of our most valued traditions is the Youth Leadership Arlington program.  The Youth program provides the opportunity for high school juniors to develop their leadership skills by participating in a variety of activities that give them an in-depth look at city operations, community issues, civic engagement, and social services in Arlington.  In fact, did you know that for every adult that signs up – one youth is sponsored to complete the Youth Leadership Arlington program?
