HKLI is the Twin Cities flagship program for developing and training Jewish leaders. Started in 1993, the program established the standard for locally developed, high level Jewish leadership training programs in the United States and, over the years since, has inspired and assisted emerging leaders in addressing the issues and challenges facing the Twin Cities’ Jews as a community and individually.
Through the course of ten iterations, HKLI has developed and trained nearly 350 individuals. Armed with leadership tools provided by the program, HKLI alumni have assumed critical leadership roles throughout the Twin Cities Jewish community and beyond. Over time, the curriculum has been revised and re-tooled based upon best leadership development practices and Twin Cities Jewish community needs.
