Now in its second year, the Community and Student Leaders’ Forum has enjoyed a successful start to its sophomore season.
In response to student feedback from the previous year, a few changes were made to this year’s program. In addition to meeting with local community leaders to discuss issues surrounding vocation, leadership and service, Forum participants are also serving as “community consultants” on a project for CityCares, the parent organization of Hands On Atlanta. Students are helping to develop resource materials for the Citizen Academy, a program that educates people on citizenship, activism, and civic engagement.
In January, Forum members participated in the Martin Luther King Jr. Service Summit, a three-day program exploring Dr. King’s messages of service, activism, diversity and nonviolence. In the coming months, the Forum will welcome community leaders in business, politics, and the arts, as well as continue in their work with CityCares.
