The Baltimore Collegetown LeaderShape program will connect students across campuses and with their communities to make a better Baltimore.

Designed for students who have a passion for service and want to be civic-minded leaders, it starts with a week of leadership development and is followed by programming and support throughout an academic year. Students will not only develop visions, but learn to be visionary, and discover how to apply their skills and passions to our city.
