Leadership La Porte County celebrated 40 years of impact this year. Led by Executive Director Monica Komasinski, the organization aims to inspire, develop, cultivate, and connect emerging and existing leaders to serve their diverse communities. Unity Foundation has been a champion of Leadership La Porte County since Unity’s early days.
The Leadership La Porte County Endowment Fund, held at Unity Foundation, provides annual support to the organization. Robert J. Hiler, Jr. generously donated to this fund after it was established in 1996, and he provided significant support through a bequest upon his passing. Thanks to his contributions and the gifts of many others, Leadership La Porte County will receive this funding annually…forever.
The Adult Community Leadership Program is geared toward community engagement, team building, community knowledge, leadership skill development and networking. Class sessions take place one day per month from September through May. Unity Foundation believes so strongly in this program that our staff members are graduates!
Multiple youth programs build on skills, ideas, and energy of local youth to improve the community through service-led projects, to promote learning through youth service, to develop youth leadership skills, to promote civic participation and to encourage youth to develop a sense of proud ownership in the community.
The adult and youth programs have benefitted from Unity’s Power for Good Community Grants Program for several years. In 2023 the organization received a grant for its High School Leadership Program and Youth Advisory Council.
Over the past forty years Leadership La Porte County has created more informed residents by increasing awareness of our county’s rich history and all its diverse communities have to offer, providing opportunities for dialogue with community stakeholders to learn about complex local issues, and enhancing community pride and service.
