Family Leadership Training Institute

Welcome to the Family Leadership Training Institute

The Family Leadership Training Institute (FLTI) of Colorado seeks to bridge the gap between local residents and decision-makers in order to foster the co-creation of programs and policies that reflect multiple community voices. To accomplish this, we take a multi-faceted approach to build capacity at both the individual and the community levels.

Since 2009, FLTI of Colorado has partnered with communities throughout the state to implement a transformational 20-week training program that utilizes the nationally renowned National Parent Leadership Institute (NPLI) curriculum.

This training is designed to increase civic participation and promote greater collaboration between individuals, families, institutions, public administrators and elected officials as they seek strategies to respond to emerging social, health, and economic issues in their communities.

FLTI has made me have a better understanding of where I fit into my
community. I now know how simple changes in my life can help me improve others’ lives.”

FLTI has given me the tools to harness the community around me and [taught me] that I have a voice to be reckoned with. FLTI helped me stretch and I am leaving with so much support and great ideas.”

FLTI has empowered me to be a leader, use my voice to create a movement, and use my experiences and passions to help develop future leaders. Because of this class, I have the confidence to speak up.”
