Abstract: (299 Views)
- Men of color initiatives and programs (MOCI) are asset-based, anti-deficit sites of enormous growth and development for college men of color.
- One underappreciated area with MOCI is their potential for leadership learning and education.
- By utilizing social justice approaches in MOCI, college men can further develop essential leadership skills to help them and the communities they advocate for succeed inside and outside of the classroom.
- Utilizing the culturally relevant leadership learning (CRLL) model and prior literature, this article will discuss the implications of how MOCI may enhance the leadership identity, capacity, and efficacy of the students they serve.
