The Futures Initiative’s Leadership and Peer Mentoring Program supports CUNY undergraduate students who are learning to be leaders within their colleges and within their communities. The program believes that great leadership means representing and responding to one’s peers in a way that supports everyone’s success. This group highlights blog posts written by the Leadership Fellows.
For more information about the program, please visit http://futuresinitiative.org/mentors. The site, like the program as a whole, celebrates the successes that students have already achieved, and the ways that these accomplishments prepare them for future success as scholars, leaders of their communities, and more.
