Registration is now open for the annual Monrovia Area Partnership youth and adult leadership academies.
These free, hands-on academies are designed to empower individuals who live, work, or attend school in Monrovia to become more active, informed, and inspired community leaders.
The Youth Leadership Academy helps students in eighth through 12th grade develop leadership skills and confidence. Participants will engage in leadership development, financial literacy, local government education, public speaking, resume building, and much more. The program is offered on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m., from Sept. 3 through Oct. 15. Youth are encouraged to step out of their comfort zones, grow as individuals, and learn how to make an impact in their communities.
The Adult Leadership Academy provides a behind-the-scenes peek into city government and equips participants with leadership tools and community-building strategies. Graduates often go on to serve on city boards, commissions, and community groups, including City Council. The academy is offered to adults 18 years and older. Participants will learn leadership development and strategies, get to know the city, engage with fellow residents and familiarize themselves with community assets. Hands-on activities include facility tours and team building games. The program is offered on Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m., from Sept. 4 to Oct. 16.
