Throughout the state’s history, agricultural and rural people have significantly contributed to Colorado’s tapestry, and CALP enriches this culture through a hands-on, interactive program dedicated to producing graduates with the vision and commitment to lead change and ensure the sustainability of Colorado’s agricultural economies and rural communities.
 
Participants in the program travel the state, learning about agriculture in every region while also honing their personal leadership skills. As a culmination to the two-year program, the group also participates in an international trip to learn about agriculture in a foreign country, as well as about trade with that country and the U.S.
 
CALP and its supporters recruit enthusiastic Coloradoans committed to agriculture and rural Colorado, and those recognized as emerging leaders who are directly involved in ag, agribusiness, rural industries, rural communities or natural resource management. Individuals may be in the early or middle phase of their leadership careers, who are looking for that next level of training or experience.
