In order to keep the group sizes small, and maximize effectiveness, we will take applications on a first-come, first-served basis. Once you apply, the cohort leader will personally reach out to you, answer any questions after reviewing your application. He or she will also let you know when the next group will be starting. Some individuals will be waitlisted until there are enough applicants to form a new group. We will keep you updated as to your application status.

The Commitment*
By agreeing to participate in the SCL cohorts program you are committing to a one-year program. When you are accepted into the cohort program we are dedicating limited resources and team members to provide you with an excellent experience. We are also intentionally keeping the group sizes small and assume everyone is committed. Barring extreme and unforeseen situations that would cause you to not be able to make a full-year commitment, we are expecting your full and active involvement with regards to your time to prepare for and participate in the cohort events as well as the willingness to fulfill the financial cost of participation in the program.

If you have questions please do not hesitate to ask.
- Please check if you agree.
