In the continuation of their leadership course, the first batch of scholars of the CSO Academy – LEAD to Serve in South Cotabato met their mentors for the first time during a session held via Zoom on Friday, January 13. The meet-up allowed the scholars and mentors to get to know each other, level-off on their mentoring expectations, and agree on a mentoring plan to complement the learning process. Attended by 19 scholars, the Course officially started in November 2022. The program will run for one year. Under the purview of CSO Academy, this is the first foray of LEAD to Serve in local governance. Under a partnership with DILG 12, DMB 12, AF and Mahintana Foundation, the CSO Academy is lodged under DILG 12’s Local Government Regional Resource Center. ###
