Our mission is to inspire and activate generations of civic and community leaders across sectors, issue areas, and lived experiences. Our lifelong Fellows are citizens of the world who uplift equitable systems and create a more just world through connection and action, continuing the work of Eli and Phyllis Segal.

The Program is a constantly expanding, intergenerational constellation of citizen leaders working across all sectors, who give each other lifelong support as they devise solutions to society’s most intractable problems. It elevates citizen leadership and service as crucial to the health and well-being of our democracy and communities.

3/18 Event: "Developing Servant Leaders, At This Moment in Time"

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Max Klau on “Developing Servant Leaders, At This Moment in Time.”

Dr. Klau is a civic leadership development expert who served as the Vice President of Leadership Development at City Year before becoming the founding Chief Program Officer at the New Politics Academy. His new book, Developing Servant Leaders at Scale: How to Do It and Why It Matters, tells the story of his years-long effort to develop a powerful and scalable approach to inner development at City Year. Through years of trial and error, he found ways to engage large numbers of servant leaders in meaningful inner work. The book explains the model and how it is now being used to recruit and develop servant leaders to run for elected office here in the United States. Hear from, ask questions of, and chat with Dr. Klau and others from the Segal and Brandeis School of SSSP communities.
