Kettering Leadership Academy
Graduates & Current Class
As a graduate of the program, you will help form a foundation of people who are uniquely qualified for the responsibilities of future community leadership.

"Everyone can be great because anyone can serve.
You do not have to have a college degree to serve.
You do not even have to make your subject and verb agree to serve...
You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love..."

Martin Luther King, Jr.
