About the Program

Please review the Pre-App document above before submitting your application.

This 18-month, immersive leadership experience is designed for senior and executive leaders in community-based organizations driving health equity forward. These leaders carry the immense responsibility of serving their communities while navigating limited resources, constant change, and emotional demands that can lead to exhaustion and burnout.

The Leadership Journey offers space to pause, reflect, and renew. It begins with onboarding and leadership assessments that prepare participants for a 5-day, in-person Leadership Foundations session in April.  This session provides a transformative opportunity to recharge, connect deeply with peers, and break through the barriers that limit growth. Through experiential learning, reflection, and meaningful dialogue, leaders rediscover clarity, confidence, and purpose in their work.

After Foundations, participants move into a Health Equity Impact phase, where they apply their learning by mentoring teams in other cohorts who are developing and implementing real-world health equity projects across Colorado. Through July of the following year, they engage in mentor training, project workshops, and collaborative meetings—culminating in an inspiring Showcase in September that celebrates the collective impact of their work.

Throughout the journey, participants receive personalized support through 1:1 coaching with expert facilitators, executive coaching sessions, on-demand guidance from TCHF partners, cohort gatherings, and monthly live, online workshops.

This program is more than professional development—it’s a transformational experience that strengthens leaders, restores connection, and fuels sustainable impact in the communities they serve.

"Health equity exists when there are no unnecessary, avoidable, unfair, unjust or systemically-caused differences in health status."
