Mexican Consulate and the School of Professional Studies - Leadership Development in the Mexican-American Community
The Leadership Development in the Mexican-American Community program is offered by the Consul General of Mexico in New York, the CUNY School of Professional Studies and the Baruch College School of Public Affairs.
A six half-day session leadership program will be developed and taught by faculty of the Baruch College School of Public Affairs and other experts from the field.
Topics covered are:
A profile of community-based organizations serving Mexican-Americans in New York
Advocacy: Influencing Public Officials and Public Policy
Public Communication: Understanding Audiences, Purposes, and Arguments
Fundraising
The goal of the program will be to assist staff and volunteers in community-based organizations in the Mexican community in New York City to better organize their local community, successfully advocate with elected and appointed officials, communicate with the media and the general public on behalf of their community, and raise funds to support their community-based organization(s). As part of the program, participants will also design an advocacy or community organizing project relevant to their particular organizations and areas of interest.
