Ignite Louisville 2009

You can't get this experience anywhere else.

Ignite Louisville is the only program of its kind in our community and is among only a handful in the nation.  If you are between the ages of 25 and 39 and are looking for a way to fuel your enthusiasm, increase your value and enable you and your company to maintain a competitive advantage, then Ignite Louisville is for you.

About Ignite Louisville

Ignite Louisville is a 6-month program that prepares our community's emerging leaders to build a better Louisville. The program offers:

  • Education to strengthen leadership skills
  • Access to the leaders and the opportunity to learn cutting-edge concepts from Louisville's major corporations such as Yum! Brands Inc., Norton Healthcare, Inc., Brown-Forman Corporation and UPS Airlines
  • Connections with established community leaders and their success stories
  • Opportunities to expand their personal and professional network by getting to know 48 other young professionals over the six months
  • Inspiration and opportunities to affect change in your community

Program participants put these leadership learnings into action through the Make Your Mark Challenge.

Make Your Mark Challenge

The Challenge pairs Ignite Louisville teams with Louisville area nonprofits and has realized remarkable achievements for the organizations.

Learn more about the Make Your Mark Challenge and how local nonprofits can benefit.

Making connections

The curriculum is only one part of the program. In fact, the investment in Ignite Louisville starts to pay off before the six-month program ends.

The connections made with classmates, interaction with top community leaders and realization of leadership potential adds value to this program well before graduation.

If you're ready to be the spark, Ignite Louisville is for you!
