MWLA builds on the needs, strengths and aspirations of the youth to unlock potential and inspire leadership. The growth of the Men’s and Women's Leadership Academy has been fueled by student interest and advocacy. The youth have taken a school program and created a fellowship, a family, and a community of youth who share a common struggle – but who recognize themselves as agents of change.

 

The collaboration and engagement of these young men and women have exposed them to life-changing experiences such as a training opportunities with the Navy SEAL team on Coronado Naval Base outside of San Diego, Restoration Retreats with the Campaign for Black Male Achievement,  and tours of the many monuments and museums in Washington DC and Atlanta.
