Leadership in Action Certificate Program

The Leadership in Action Certificate Program is a non-credit opportunity for students in the Leadership and Service LLP to develop leadership skills, build community, and make a meaningful impact through service. Participants attend leadership development events, engage in hands-on leadership labs, and work with peers to plan and lead a service project. The program also includes signature service experiences and regular community engagement.

Students who complete all components will earn a Leadership in Action certificate, receive a staff recommendation, gain eligibility for future LLP leadership roles, and have the option to include the achievement on their co-curricular transcript or leadership portfolio.
