Civic Engagement for Tomorrow's Leaders


Tomorrow’s leaders will need to have an ability to collaborate across sectors with deep empathy for the communities they serve; critical thinking skills to develop innovative solutions to complex challenges; and the courage to take action even in the face of stark adversity, including the crushing pressure of the status quo. This “growth mindset” requires rolling up one’s sleeves, swallowing a dose of humility, and getting immersed in reality. 



Volunteering also helps people develop skills and confidence. A recent found that “participation in civil society can develop habits that make individuals employable and strengthen the networks that help them find jobs.”
