Student Leadership Academy

Lansing Community College - MI, Michigan

The Leadership Academy at Lansing Community College uses service-learning to help students develop the skills to become leaders in their community. Every fall, 15 students are selected to be part of a two-year series of four classes designed to teach skills such as leadership, event planning, and program evaluation. Service-learning is incorporated throughout the program, providing students with ways to connect their lessons in leadership to meaningful work in the community. At the end of the program, every member of the academy is required to do a final leadership project in the community.

The service-learning program at NC State is a source of pride for the university, and an important facet of NC State's mission of extension for both our students and the population of the state of North Carolina. Thank you for all of the good work of Campus Compact."
