20th Anniversary of the Young Leaders Program
Alumni Small Grants
It’s been twenty retreats since the first Youth Leadership Retreat! In the past years the program has undergone many changes, locations, and even a new name – The Young Leaders Program. Celebration is an important part of growth in any organization and we want to give you, the alumni of the program, the chance to celebrate.
MCW is awarding grants of $500 to alumni who want to host a YLP event to celebrate the 20th Anniversary. This can be anything from a guest speaker, to a dinner, to a volunteer project. The event must take place during 2017 and must relate to MCW and the YLP in some way.
Check out how these three alumni have used their 20th Anniversary Alumni Grant!
