The Monster Diversity Leadership Program is a highly selective leadership program

designed to help college students of diverse background develop fundamental career skills, gain access to top companies and discover or embrace their passion. The experience is unique, dynamic and free to accepted students. Participants spend a summer weekend, in one of 10 host cities (Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Baltimore, LA, New York, Orlando/Tampa, Philadelphia, San Francisco), with 300 like-minded student-leaders exploring such areas as resume-building, career development, workplace diversity and networking.

It is a life-changing event for incoming college sophomores, juniors and seniors. Each high-energy program is jam-packed with presentations and activities provided by some of the nation?s most inspiring speakers and organizations.

Participants leave with access to an invaluable network of professional contacts and mentors, new friends and fresh ideas about their place in the real world.
