Meet Our Volunteer Teams
At the heart of what we do at Leadership Kitsap is the idea and implementation of Servant Leadership, exemplified so well by our volunteers serving on the board of directors, alumni team, project teams, and so many more places.
Their energy, enthusiasm, breadth of skills, and love of community drive them in their service here and in their everyday lives, and our organization would not be what it is without them. We work together to build stronger relationships, foster engagement across communities, and create lasting change for our region.
