The Malave Leadership Academy’s CUNY Corps Program is a leadership through service initiative. We are committed to teaching core leadership values, and to promote community service opportunities that will bring together volunteers and service leaders from across the University. The core components of the program are based on experiential learning of leadership values from a social change aspect; p
lanning for collaborative service initiatives; project development and volunteer service events. The Student Investment Advocate’s (SIA) Program promotes students’ leadership talents by developing their political acumen and advocacy skills. Within the context of University legislative priorities and issues of concern to CUNY students, SIA provides students with direct and transferable experiences in the political, legislative, and budgetary processes on the city, state and federal levels. SIA is ideal for students who express an interest in having an impact on public policy or wish to participate in the political process
In partnership with the CUNY Council of Student Life Directors, MLA sponsors the annual Emerging Leaders Conference, open to all CUNY students interested in improving their leadership skills; and the New Leadership Challenge, for all newly elected student government officials. In addition, MLA hosts the Annual Vice Chancellor’s Excellence in Leadership Awards Ceremony.
