Minnehaha Leadership Institute
Developing servant leaders who use their gifts to glorify God and bring good to their neighbor.
The Minnehaha Leadership Institute (MLI) is a unique program in the Twin Cities that offers Middle and Upper School students the opportunity to develop leadership skills based on servant leadership to transform themselves and the world.
Why Join the MLI?
-
Join a community of faithful leaders
MLI students meet regularly with MLI faculty to study, ask questions, and explore a theme in the leadership curriculum. -
Leadership in action
Practice fellowship, hospitality, and community on the stage, in sports teams, in the classroom, and around the school. Student leaders design and implement school and community events for their peers throughout the year. -
Meaningful mentorship (Fellows Track)
Each Upper School Fellow has a mentor and meets with them regularly. Mentors help students explore questions and guide them through the leadership program. -
Retreats & Trips
Upper School MLI students have the opportunity to grow through a variety of retreats and trips throughout the year.
Our mission is to develop servant leaders who are growing into whole and holy people. Together we seek to use our gifts for God’s glory and neighbors’ good.
