"Young Leaders Rise: Renew, Inspire, Serve, Empower"
hosted by Presidential Precinct
The Presidential Precinct hosted 16 emerging leaders from the Middle East and North Africa for a conference focusing on leadership strategies and skills used to manage political challenges, exploring advocacy strategies that facilitate social empowerment and justice, and illustrating how Americans value community service and volunteerism in the United States. Participants attended workshops and seminars during their 3-day stay in Charlottesville. These workshops included presentations from the Center for the Constitution at Montpelier, the International Center for Jefferson Studies at Monticello, and UVA faculty and staff including the Center for Politics at UVA.
The Presidential Precinct -- a newly formed partnership between UVA, Morven, Monticello, Ash Lawn-Highland, William & Mary and Montpelier -- hosted emerging leaders from over 25 countries from December 10-12th at Morven and on-grounds at UVA. Over the course of two days, these international leaders met with members of the Presidential Precinct to engage in discussions about fostering democracy and civil society in their home countries.
