Community Partners

Community partners are individuals or agencies who have recognized a need that focuses on systemic problems of our community, and have invited the Academy to assist with solving those issues. In return, the Academy identifies students with common passions to join in the endeavor.

If your organization has a project idea for one or more of our Fellow candidates, please click on the link below and fill out our Community Engaged Leadership Project Application:
