Citizen-Leader Activist Alliance


Social Change The Citizen-Leader Activist Alliance is an alliance between the Center for Student Leadership Development and the URI Feinstein Center for Service Learning. We seek to prepare students to be social change agents and leaders in social change activities. We seek to encourage our students to define what democracy and citizenship is. Students are educated on power, privilege, social justice, and causation of institutional complacency. Students have an opportunity to experience social change first hand in a variety of activities and settings.



Leadership for Activism and Social Change track:
URI 101 Leadership for Activism and Social Change
As part of the freshman leadership learning community this class is for the student who intends to lead efforts that challenge the status quo.
