Best in Class: Service Leadership Camp 2011

Michigan Campus Compact is excited to expand our annual camp for students with support from National Campus Compact and the Jenzabar Foundation. This weekend training will involve college students from across Michigan and the surrounding states, as well as a select number of high school seniors getting ready to be the next service leaders on college campuses! Best in Class: Service Leadership Camp serves as a great opportunity to develop leadership skills and sets the tone for the service you will help coordinate all year long.
