Community Tampa Bay Announces ANYTOWN® for Adults: A Transformative Experience for Inclusive Leadership

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Community Tampa Bay is proud to launch ANYTOWN^® for Adults, an immersive leadership development program designed to build empathy, deepen cross-cultural understanding, and foster inclusive leadership in today’s complex world. The program will take place September 10–12, 2025, at The Franciscan Center in Tampa.

Rooted in the award-winning youth ANYTOWN^® program with over 35 years of success in the Tampa Bay area, ANYTOWN^® for Adults provides tools for participants to lead more intentionally and communicate more effectively across differences. Open to individuals ages 21 and up, this three-day, two-night experience is ideal for both employers seeking powerful professional development opportunities for their teams and individuals looking to strengthen their personal leadership and communication skill sets.

“At a time when truly listening and connecting across differences is essential, ANYTOWN^® for Adults offers a space to grow as a socially responsible and civically engaged leader,” says Quenita Oats, Program Director.

“In a time where fear and isolationism dominates, ANYTOWN^® for Adults is an opportunity to revitalize our understanding of self, the identities of those around us, and how we relate to each other. Through a reinforcement of engagement and dialogue in a safe, trusted space, we can reclaim and improve relationships with our families, friends, and colleagues. Our ability to be good leaders and mentors will inevitably be affected through these lessons learned or revisited during Anytown for Adults, which will enhance our communities and organizations.”says Lance Lansrud, ANYTOWN^® Graduate, Volunteer, and current Board Chair.

Through a unique, immersive format, participants will gain the skills to:

Become more empathetic and effective listeners
Communicate and lead across lines of difference
Engage confidently in cross-cultural relationships
Foster inclusive practices at home, in the workplace, and in the community
