Pathways to Leadership Program
Pathways to Leadership is a year-long leadership development program designed to help Muir students explore what leadership means to them, develop practical leadership skills, and discover their own pathway to making an impact.
Students will participate in interactive workshops focused on leadership identity, communication, collaboration, intentionality, problem-solving, conflict navigation, and community engagement.
As part of the program, students will have the opportunity to choose between two tracks:
Leadership Foundations Track: Develop your leadership skills through workshops, reflection, and hands-on activities while exploring how you can apply your leadership in everyday life and within the Muir community.
Leadership in Action: Service Learning Track: Take your leadership development a step further by working with a small cohort to design, implement, and evaluate a service-learning project addressing a community-identified need. Students will learn how to move from an idea to an intentional, meaningful community project.
Whether you are already involved in leadership or are simply curious about what leadership could look like for you, Pathways is an opportunity to learn, grow, connect, and define your own pathway to leadership.
Celebrate the Independent Spirit.
