Men's Leadership Project

The Men's Leadership Project is an innovative community-based leadership development and mentoring program designed to build and reinforce authentic and responsible leadership capacities of both undergraduate men and elementary school boys. MLP accomplishes this mission by training and pairing a diverse group of undergraduate men with a select group of fifth grade boys at Walker Upper Elementary School in Charlottesville.

MLP is especially committed to understanding a wide range of masculinities, fostering a gender-aware perspective on leadership development and mentoring, and encouraging active participation in respectful, healthy, pro-social and anti-violent community roles for those who identify as men and boys.
