Celebrating a Decade of Leadership!

Meet one of our founders!

Our tenth CLA cohort in New York City will complete the program this spring! Since we began there a decade ago, we have expanded to eight more cities, and during that time nearly 500 people have completed CLA. ​

Thank you for being part of the CLA community and accompanying us on this journey! We look forward to celebrating our past decade, and gearing up for the next one, with you this year.

Celebrating a Decade of Leadership.

Rev. David McCallum, S.J., was one of the founders of CLA, and he continues to work training others in Ignatian leadership. Currently, he serves as Vice President for Mission Integration and Development at Le Moyne College.

​CLA is a two-year program that cultivates Ignatian spirituality and leadership in young adults in their 20's and 30's. Participants join a vibrant, faith-filled community of peers committed to becoming leaders in their fields and finding God in all things.
