    Through online sessions with speakers, discussions, electronic modules, and assignments, participants will be able to put their local issues in a larger global context while understanding why they are uniquely positioned to make a change in their community. Participants will also determine what tools and skills can be applied to a viable plan.

    To further develop and execute their hands-on plans, young leaders are paired with former student mentors, who will guide them through the virtual program toward creating a workable plan. Throughout the year, alumni mentors support participants by facilitating quarterly “meetings” and ongoing remote communication.

    Alumni mentors undergo personalized training prior to the start of the program to support team building and cultural competence among the diverse group of young leaders.
