What is the Community Leadership Development Program?
The Community Leadership Development Program (CLDP) is a unique year-long volunteer opportunity that allows students to volunteer as community leaders while also engaging in online training and workshops to develop leadership skills!
As a volunteer in the CLDP program, you will be considered a 'Community Leader'. Your time will be spent supporting one of three streams in our department:
1. Access and Inclusion Programs (Access Days, Black Excellence Orientation, and/or Inclusion Event Assistants)
2. Alternative Reading Week Programs
3. STEAM Programs (STEAM Days & STEAM Mentorship Academy)
