Leadership Action Projects (LAPs) are an integral component of the Leadership Brevard program curriculum.  From LEAD Brevard’s point of view, the process of learning group process skills, evolving team leadership, and working within the community to conceive, plan and implement a solution to a real local need is an important leadership experience.  LAPs bring together teams of Leadership Brevard participants with other community leaders.

The purpose of the LAP is to address a problem or issue identified by a local non-profit. The projects use the talents, skills, and professional capabilities of the Leadership Brevard class members to help the organization fulfill its specific mission while at the same time our participants learn the intricacies of Brevard County from another perspective, connect with a specific organization and build leadership skills outside of their workplace.   Several LAPs are undertaken each year and result in community impact translated as numbers.  The numbers represent only a portion of the value that is received by both the participating nonprofits and the class members as participants in a “learning laboratory."
