At Roaring Fork Leadership, we believe that leadership is about creating meaningful change, fostering collaboration, and inspiring others to step into their potential. Our Academy program unites passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds who share a commitment to bettering themselves and their communities.

Leadership development should be accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances. That’s why we’re launching our Pay It Forward campaign as we approach the Academy 2025 graduation and prepare for the next cohort in 2026. Our goal is to build a robust scholarship fund that allows emerging leaders to participate fully, no matter their financial situation.

Why Pay It Forward?
Paying it forward is more than a gift – it’s an investment in our community’s future. It’s a commitment to helping leaders from all walks of life access the skills, connections, and insights that RFL offers. Your contribution becomes a legacy, empowering someone to make a difference in their career, community, and personal growth.

The Impact of Your Support
Our Academy program transforms lives and careers:

  • Emerging Leaders Finding Their Voice: Participants gain the confidence to advocate for change and inspire others.
  • Building Community Bridges: By bringing together individuals from various industries and backgrounds, we foster collaboration and understanding.
  • Creating Positive Change: Our graduates lead with purpose, making a tangible impact in their communities.

None of this would be possible without community support. By giving to the scholarship fund, you’re ensuring that driven, passionate leaders can access this transformative experience, regardless of financial challenges.

Your Gift, Their Future
Imagine the difference your support can make – a young professional gaining the skills to lead confidently, a community advocate ready to drive change, or a business leader equipped to inspire their team. Your investment in leadership today shapes a stronger, more vibrant community tomorrow.

Hear from one of our 2020 RFL Alum:
“When I was in RFL Academy, I was also working three jobs and living in a small studio apartment. Without the scholarship fund, I wouldn’t have been able to participate in the program. RFL Academy changed my whole perspective on myself and my career, changing the trajectory of my career for years to come. I am so grateful to RFL donors and alumni who continue to support this incredible program.”

Your Gift Makes a Difference
Imagine the possibilities your contribution can unlock: a young professional gaining confidence, a community advocate finding their voice, or a local leader creating positive change. Your support makes all of this possible.
