Compassionate Leadership Retreats for Young Adults

During our Leadership Retreats, our facilitators will lead programming and community-building activities that are tailored to each group. These retreats are customized to fit the time constraints and necessary outcomes of each group. Retreats occur at the Muhammad Ali Center but for overnight engagements, groups will need to make lodging accommodations outside of the Center.

Program components include:

• Two pre-meetings to understand the current program climate, goals, expected outcomes for the retreat, logistics, and identification of any pre-work.
• A guided tour of the Muhammad Ali Center, rooted in Muhammad’s legacy of compassion, respect, and social justice. The tour highlights Muhammad’s humanitarian leadership and life’s work to foster compassion across communities.
• Programming designed to engage participants in gradually deeper learning and conversations centered on compassion and social change. This includes brave discussions on how young adults experience challenges within their schools and communities, emphasizing actionable change, compassion, and inclusive practices.
• Collective strategy sessions to develop an action plan that integrates insights from the [aliindex.org]Muhammad Ali Index, focusing on building compassionate organizations. Participants will also collaborate on creating a group-supported list of value statements to guide their actions, fostering a shared commitment to empathy and inclusion.
• Grounded in Research: Insights from the 2025 Compassion Report will frame discussions and activities, grounding the program in evidence-based approaches to understanding and fostering compassion in individuals, organizations, and communities.

Cost:

$1,500 to $3,000 for up to 50 participants (plus five free chaperones)
One or two day options available. Pricing is based on the duration of the retreat.
