Welcome to the PPSC Leadership Center webpage. Pikes Peak State College has been chosen by The Citizens Campaign as one of 10 Citizen Leadership Centers based primarily at Community Colleges around the nation.

The self-paced course is based upon a citizen leadership training manual published by Rutgers University Press that includes 10 lessons with associated videos and quizzes. Participants in the course will become equipped with the pragmatic, problem solving skills needed to work together and help solve problems by developing and advancing their own evidence-based proposals while upholding a high standard of service. Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate of training in Leadership and No-Blame Problem Solving.
