I-LEAD is a community-based nonprofit school that works to improve local quality of life by helping to strengthen citizens as effective community leaders.


I-LEAD's Vision

I-LEAD seeks to improve neighborhood quality of life in Pennsylvania by working with community leaders to develop and hone strong local leadership. 
This is accomplished by focusing on four central goals:

Helping grass-roots leaders build and practice a repertoire of important leadership skills-- the skills entailed in effective dialogue, and the skills entailed in systems thinking;

Helping grass-roots leaders master certain bodies of supplemental information required
     for effective local leadership, including knowledge of public systems,
private systems, and technology literacy;

Improving collaboration and cooperation between and among active local leaders;

Assisting grass-roots leaders in envisioning and achieving tangible, 
community-based leadership initiatives.
