The Colin Powell Center for Leadership and Service

The Colin Powell Center for Leadership and Service was founded by General Colin L. Powell, City College Class of 1958, to build a culture of service and to inspire young people with a sense of public purpose, vision, and responsibility, and to strengthen connections between campus and communities.

The Center provides scholarship and fellowship support to highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students in all majors to build their leadership skills through service and research projects.It also serves as the hub for service learning at CCNY, a course-based, credit-bearing educational approach that connects academic theory to concrete action and that encourages a synergy between classroom and community-based learning.Finally, faculty, students and community representatives address specific community problems through research; and grants to faculty allow them to develop the policy implications of their research.
