Civic Leadership

 

Civic Leadership

CMC is dedicated to creating a robust ecosystem of support with integrated curricular and co-curricular activities to foster civic leadership and a deep commitment to community reinforcement on a broad scale. The key program components are: an academic curriculum, co-curricular opportunities aligned with this curriculum, and a slate of quarterly skills-building conferences which will be open to nonprofits throughout the region. The three main goals of the program will be to provide high level institutional support:

1) Offer community organizations cutting edge tools to build financial and programmatic resilience,

2) Enhance strategic communications

3) Provide contextual policy education that informs strategies to capitalize on government programs.
