LEP 47 Junior Leadership 5K & Mile Walk

Description

For nearly five decades, Leadership El Paso has shaped the professionals and civic leaders who drive this city forward. Our Class 47 community project carries that legacy one generation further: we are working to bring back Junior Leadership El Paso, a program that gave high school students across El Paso County a year-long immersion in leadership, civic engagement, and community service. The program ran for 17 successful cohorts before being paused during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it has not returned since. We intend to change that.  

Our goal is to raise $100,000 by December 5, 2026, enough to relaunch Junior LEP not as a one-time experiment, but as a sustainable program serving the next generation of El Paso leaders for years to come.
