Hosted by Active San Gabriel Valley, the Baldwin Park Community Leadership Program aims to provide ten community members in Baldwin Park and its surrounding communities (El Monte, South El Monte, West Covina, Irwindale, La Puente, Avocado Heights, Valinda, West Puente Valley) with the opportunity to learn, engage, and grow as active community leaders. The program allows community members to learn and guide community-based research to address local water issues. This program will be conducted in-person, starting in March 2026 through April 2026, with sessions occurring about once a week on Wednesdays from 6:30pm-8pm.
The sessions of the program will cover a range of practical topics, including an introduction to local water issues, an overview of nature-based solutions, the importance of community-based research and data analysis, and public speaking. These skills are not only valuable for the program but also for your future endeavors.
All participants will receive a $500 stipend upon completion of the program!
Requirements to participate in the program:
-Must be 18 years or older
-Must be able to attend at least 6 of 7 evening meetings on Wednesdays between March 11, 2026-April 29, 2026
