Abstract: Community leadership development education (CLDE) programs are designed to increase the capacity of individuals as leaders in their communities as well as increase the capacity of community leadership as a whole. These programs contribute to building a critical mass of individuals in the community by developing their leadership skills and knowledge to be effective leaders. However, there is little research that connects characteristics of individual leadership skills to increased capacity for community development. The article addresses this by looking at how CLDE programs contribute to building and enhancing the human capital and social capital of program participants and how these benefits lead to human capital and social capital benefits in the community as well as improvements in the other five community capitals -- cultural, political, built, natural, and financial.
