COMMUNITY SERVICE AND LEADERSHIP VALUES

In this Discussion, you imagine yourself as a leader of the organization where you will complete your community service this week. As you do so, you identify leadership values that you would emphasize given the organization’s outreach and humanitarian efforts.
