Other Required Program Components
Study Groups
The class is divided into Study Groups. Each group will set its own meeting dates during the Opening Retreat. Meetings are opportunities to discuss the program topics in-depth, in an intimate setting. They will be once per month, in the evenings, in group members' homes.
Community Leadership Projects
Each class members will be assigned to a service learning project group. Each group will work on it sown, with an assigned nonprofit organization, to complete a specified project. Project assignments and details will be provided at the Opening Retreat. Group projects are a key component of the program year. Projects are designed to require approximately 16 hours of time. Final project reports are required at the Closing Retreat.
Additional Activities
Throughout the year, additional activities will be made available to you. There will be an opportunity to ride-along with an Atlanta police officer or observe a 911 operator. A series of "CEO Roundtables" will also be offered. These roundtables are intimate, off-the-record conversations wtih Atlanta's most prominent local CEOs, politicians, and other leaders. You are strongly encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities.
