The Community Leadership Program is an exciting professional development opportunity for UBC staff and employees from our corporate partners, to explore the meaning of leadership through a series of interactive, participatory workshops. Participants will learn to mentor and lead a group of UBC students who are volunteering at a local elementary school during their Reading Week break. This experiential, hands-on approach to student learning is called community service learning.
