Leadership Corvallis Application

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Are you ready to step into a leadership role in your community? Do you want to meet the people who help Corvallis thrive and build connections that support your personal and professional growth? If so, consider applying for the next Leadership Corvallis class.

For more than 30 years, Leadership Corvallis has offered a community education experience that brings together residents who are passionate about making a positive impact. From September through June, participants attend monthly, daylong sessions exploring key facets of our community, including local government, health care, human services, education, economic development, the arts, and natural resources. Along the way, you’ll meet local leaders, gain behind-the-scenes insight and visit organizations and institutions that shape life in Corvallis. And you’ll make great connections with your classmates and Leadership Corvallis alumni.

Tuition is $750 with a $50 early-bird discount for applications received by May 1, 2026. Deadline for applications is June 1, 2026. Applicants needing financial support can apply for scholarship assistance (half-price tuition).

More information about the program is on our About page, including policies about graduation requirements and tuition payments.
