ELD Advisory Councils
ELD advisory councils convene leaders of color in Pueblo and Colorado Springs and introduce ELD participants to broad-based community involvement, civic engagement and leadership development training programs. During advisory council meetings, ELD participants connect with members of their community and learn about community-led initiatives and El Pomar grant opportunities. Participants are connected with nonprofit executives looking to cultivate and recruit for board positions and volunteer opportunities within their organizations. Visit the Trainings and Civic Engagement Opportunities Page to learn more and find information on scholarship opportunities.
