Leaders in Service (LIS) Class of 2026 Coming Soon!

What is Leaders in Service (LIS)?

The Civic and Community Engagement Center’s Leaders in Service program allows incoming first-year and transfer students the opportunity to get involved with service projects, political engagement and leadership opportunities at Ramapo before their first semester begins.

How will LIS help me get involved at Ramapo?

Through LIS, a week long program which starts before the other first-year students move in, students have a chance to connect with each other before the fall semester starts. They form friendships and create partnerships with community organizations, on and off campus. In addition, students are introduced to many leadership opportunities throughout a variety of campus organizations and clubs.

Students who complete the LIS summer session are able to attend monthly workshops during the academic year covering topics on civic engagement, leadership development, and skill building.

• Learn about the impact of civic engagement & how to get involved in your community
• Develop leadership skills as an incoming first year student
• Become active in the Ramapo community as a primary step towards future success
• Make a difference within community service and civic leadership events
