Leadership St. Pete® Class Project

Each Leadership St. Pete® (LSP) Class makes a difference in our community by working with a St. Petersburg nonprofit organization to further its goals through an annual class project. Organizing, planning, marketing, fundraising, and physical labor are all key elements to make this effort a success. The last several Class Projects have exceeded cash and in-kind donation values of more than $50,000 each. Each year, LSP enjoys the support of many energetic community leaders.

Since 1970, each Leadership St. Pete® (LSP) Class has graduated leaving footprints in our community through their annual class project. Each class is tasked with identifying a local nonprofit organization in need of a few helping hands in order to reach their goals.

Through LSP’s annual project, each class works together to organize, plan, market, fundraise, and put in the physical labor needed to make the effort a success.

The most recent classes have exceeded their goals by fundraising more than $50,000 in cash and in-kind donations.

LSP is proud to be supported and enthusiastically motivated by several of St. Pete’s community leaders, year after year. The class leverages this support to create what many like to call the “legacy project.”
