Core, sponsored by The Honesdale National Bank, is a 10-month program where participants gain leadership, interpersonal, and managerial skills, as well as an enhanced understanding of the issues relevant to the greater Scranton region, through monthly sessions. Areas of focus can include community development, economic development, government, health care, law, education, quality of life, and more.
Welcome Scranton!, sponsored by Geisinger, is a two and half day program designed to give participants a quick but thorough understanding of Scranton and Lackawanna County, along with a revitalized sense of putting leadership into action.
