Our Mission

We are on a mission to prepare diverse, proven leaders for nonprofit board service through skills development and a firsthand view of strengths and challenges in San Antonio and surrounding areas.

In partnership with nonprofits, we provide opportunities for graduates to serve as vital contributors in creating equitable, inclusive outcomes and building a better community.


MLP is seeking individuals representing a diversity of background and experience looking for an opportunity to learn from and enhance the lives of others through nonprofit board and civic commission service.
