The Harwood School
Learn. Innovate. Catalyze.
You want to make community work for all of us.
The Harwood School teaches you how.
The Harwood School has a different view about what it takes to create change. We weren’t founded on an untested theory or some utopian vision for society.
Our approach is rooted in what we’ve learned about how change actually happens and what it takes to make community work for all of us. It’s deeply practical. And it calls us to be part of something larger than ourselves.
It flies in the face of conventional wisdom. But that’s exactly how we’ve created transformational change in hundreds of communities across all 50 states and 40 countries worldwide.
For nearly four decades, we’ve equipped more leaders than practically any other organization of our kind—thousands of them, in every sector of society. This isn’t your typical approach. And this isn’t your typical training. The Harwood School is a catalyst for you to develop the capacity and capabilities you and your team need to create real, lasting change.
