Leadership San Francisco

Flagship Program

Flagship Program Overview

Individuals selected for the LSF Flagship program are deeply engaged in community service and demonstrate a strong concern for the quality of life in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Participants explore community trusteeship—the commitment to serve the common good by holding their community in trust. Becoming a trustee is less about mastering a skill than embracing a new way of engaging with the community, one that requires actively seeking a broader awareness.
