At JWU, community leadership means "strategically using personal and institutional resources to address community needs." Making the best possible link between your skills and interests and the needs around you will result in maximum community impact and maximum personal satisfaction! Working in collaboration with the Center for Leadership Studies, Student Activities, Residential Life, National Student Organizations and various other departments across campus, the Feinstein Center seeks to engage students and staff in "community leadership" by providing opportunities to apply leadership skills and principles to real-life community settings.
