Community leadership development programs (CLDPs) have become increasingly common in rural areas as strategies for self-help development. Programs vary by sponsor, curriculum, and mission, and in recent years have been the subject of study for their designs and impacts. While the majority of studies use past participants as research subjects, this qualitative case study uses University Extension program administrators from one Midwestern state as informants to uncover perspectives on the purposes and challenges of community leadership development programming. The community capitals framework is employed as a mechanism for classifying the data and for advancing a broad program model that hinges on cultural capital -- shared beliefs about who community leaders are, and the possibilities they together envision. This study seeks to deepen our understanding of both the explicit and implicit goals of CLDPs and attempts to fit those goals into a coherent framework that might ultimately predict the expansion of community capacity
