Founded in 2000, Leadership Victoria is a community-based, volunteer-led non-profit organization committed to developing, supporting, recognizing and honouring outstanding community leaders. Over the last decade, we have become the "go to" organization for community leadership in Greater Victoria, completing nearly 40 community action projects and graduating more than 200 leaders from diverse backgrounds who continue to work to improve their community.

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."

-John Quincy Adams
