Co-produced by Winters Rotary Club and Courageous Leadership and specifically for Yolo County, you’ll experience the camaraderie and connection of Rotary and community partners. You’ll engage directly with the 93% of Americans who want less divisive talk and more positive action on local issues of shared concern. Our participants overwhelmingly report an increase in a sense of belonging in community and country, and emerge more:<ul><li>hopeful and inspired,</li></ul><ul><li>capable of creating goodwill across differences,&nbsp;</li><li>confident in their abilities to engage across differences, and</li><li>interested in building relationships and working together.</li></ul>WHY ROTARY &amp; COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP?Rotary is one of the few US groups that creates high levels of trust, where people from many backgrounds and perspectives build bonds while achieving results. This Courageous Community event combines Rotary’s "Service Above Self” model with Courageous Leadership’s proven collaboration methods. Our programs are built on solid social science, and have helped people increase social and emotional intelligence and build trust in each other and our society. We have delivered programs for “Courageous Community” across differences to 500+ Rotarians and friends from 40+ California Rotary Clubs. Our evidence-based tools have been used by Salesforce, Microsoft, Pfizer, Hewlett Foundation, Google, Center for Domestic Peace, GE, and more.

Every great team, community, and country faces conflict when differing perspectives and ideas collide. But instead of shying away, these can be invitations to build “Courageous Community," and turn fear into excitement, curiosity, and positive impact.
