The MCF works at places of learning around the world, and programs are currently operated in  Kazakhstan, Ukraine, the Philippines, Afghanistan, and India.  With the goal of developing leaders, the following programs are offered:

The International Servant Leadership Program (or "ISLP") is a 2-year program for university students.  The program helps students to consider the value of people, relationships and community and to see leadership as an opportunity to serve those around them.  The program includes four key components:

Principles Course.  The principles of servant leadership are presented to students on-site at their universities.  Through stories, interaction, case studies and dialogue, students grapple with leadership concepts that are often very different from those common in their culture.

Research Project.  After completing the servant leadership training, students work with a mentor to research servant leadership at a company or organization in their country.  The application of servant leadership principles in each situation is discussed and analyzed.

The Academy.  After students complete their research projects, they come from around the world to attend the Academy - a 16 day experience held in the Northwest United States in the summer each year.  The Academy helps students to experience the power of servant leadership in corporations, small businesses, non-profit organizations and government, as they personally get involved in different "communities of servant leadership.

Demonstration Project.  After completing the Academy, students work together in teams to complete a project that reaches out to their home community.  The project shows students that their dreams for bringing change to society can be realized.

The Visiting International Professor Program (or "VIP" Program) is designed specifically to help international university faculty and administrators develop as servant leaders.  This program usually includes the following 4 components, similar to the ISLP program above:

Principles Course.  The principles of servant leadership are presented to university faculty on-site at their universities.  During the course, faculty begin to consider together how servant leadership principles can influence their classrooms, teaching methods, departments and their university as a whole.

Research Project.  In this part of the program, faculty identify a specific area in education where they would like to consider further the application of servant leadership principles.  This may be related to education administration, teaching methods, quality learning, etc.  Teachers then conduct research on this topic, and write a research paper where they analyze and discuss how servant leadership could bring positive changes to their university.

The VIP Experience.  Selected faculty are invited to participate in the VIP Experience, where they spend one month at an American university.  During this month, they attend classes, department meetings and meet regularly with university teachers and administrators.  Throughout the experience, they consider how servant leadership impacts life and the quality of learning at the university.

Demonstration Project.  After the VIP Program, faculty implement some new aspect of quality learning and servant leadership in their own classrooms or department.

In addition to the ISLP and VIP programs, the MCF offers stand-alone servant leadership intensive courses over 2-4 week periods at universities, institutes, colleges and other organizations.  These courses are designed to model the building of a community that demonstrates the incredible value of each participant, their stories and their ideas.  Through a process of action and reflection, the course works to help students learn from their hearts and from each other.  Through the course, students consider the values and principles of servant leadership, including the great value of people and relationships, the meaning of service, the unique purpose of each person, and the importance of serving and working in community.

The MCF, in partnership with international universities, provides visiting American teachers of English and other subjects for periods from 2 weeks to 5 months.  This program, in addition to providing a valuable service to international universities, also presents the opportunity for teachers to model excellent teaching and servant leadership in the classroom.

The MCF, in partnership with American universities, assists international universities with program and curriculum development, including assistance with American accreditation standards and procedures.

The MCF works with American universities to hold MCF Summer English Adventure Camps.  These camps are held each summer on the campuses of American universities and provide international students with a series of intensive English classes.  Camps also include a variety of cultural and recreational activities.  Camps are held from 1-2 months.  For more information about the 2010 MCF Summer English Adventure Camp, click here.
