MCPL Commmunity Projects
Multi Cultural Leadership Program (MCLP) is a rigorous professional development program that
provides leadership training to individuals, in line with its mission to develop diverse leaders. MCLP
participants engage in eight-month leadership journey beginning in August each year. Throughout this
journey, MCLP promotes its philosophy that community involvement is not an option for leaders it is a
fundamental responsibility and key leadership competence. One element of the program that reinforces
the learning around community involvement and team-building is the completion of a community
project for a non-profit agency whereby the participants can make a difference for a non-profit
organization while practicing their skills in a safe learning environment. In addition, participants will
begin to learn about non-profit organizational structures and nuances of community-based organization
versus a for-profit or bottom-line driven corporation.
