Shaping Leaders Through Dialogue: Inside the Sorensen Institute

Welcome back to BBB Sharing. Today, we sit down with Larry Roberts, Director of the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership, to explore how intentional conversation and ethical engagement are used to develop future leaders across Virginia. With a passion for civic responsibility and bipartisan cooperation, Larry walks us through the mission and impact of Sorensen's work—and why now, more than ever, programs like this are essential for our communities.

Through thoughtful dialogue, the Sorensen Institute aims to elevate perspectives, deepen understanding, and encourage collaboration across divides. Larry discusses how creating space for people to truly listen to one another doesn’t just change opinions—it builds a foundation for meaningful action. Whether you’re a high school student just starting to think about leadership or a seasoned professional looking to give back, Sorensen has a program designed to meet you where you are.

From high school leadership initiatives to candidate training programs, Sorensen’s four core offerings are designed to prepare Virginians to lead with integrity, empathy, and clarity. Tune in to hear how these initiatives are shaping a new generation of changemakers.
