What will you do in the Montgomery Leadership Program?
The Montgomery Leadership Program is a multi-semester study of leadership skills and community service.
Tier 1
Focuses on learning about leadership theory and personal leadership styles as well as communication skills in and outside of the classroom. The class (limited to 50 students) meets twice per week. MLP Scholars are expected to complete 10 hours of community service with a group of 5-6 other Scholars.
Tier 2
Montgomery Leadership students continue their leadership studies and community service by creating and implementing a capstone project. Whatever leadership or service passion you have, you will have the opportunity to make this "come to life" with other like-minded MLP Scholars under the supervision and guidance of the Montgomery Leadership Program staff.
