    Do you want to make a difference? Are you passionate about community service? Albion College and the Ford Institute may be the perfect home for you!

    Please join us on Monday, October 27, 2014 for a Community Service Workshop. You will network with fellow high school leaders from across the region that share a passion for community service and visit with current Albion College students.  Bring ideas for impactful service projects and be ready to get your hands dirty with a fun community service activity in the afternoon!

    Dedicated by former President Gerald R. Ford, the Gerald R. Ford Institute for Leadership in Public Policy and Service seeks students who want to make leadership or some form of public service part of their lives. As a Ford student, you will explore regional, national, and global policy issues and prepare for future leadership roles through course work, community service, internships, mentoring, and professional development.
