Leadership doesn’t happen by accident—it’s built with intention.

CKLDP St. Louis is a peer-led program designed to challenge, connect, and elevate emerging professionals across the region. Over the course of a year, you’ll engage in candid dialogue, sharpen critical skills, and learn alongside a cohort of driven peers who are just as invested in shaping the future of the profession as you are.

From negotiation and client development to community leadership and innovation, this is where perspective expands and confidence grows. Just as important, the relationships you build will extend far beyond the program—forming a network of future leaders across St. Louis.

If you’re ready to take an active role in your growth—and in the future of architecture—this is your moment.
