MLP Big Brother Application

MLP Big Brother Application

Thank you for your interest in joining the Men's Leadership Project in 2024-2025
MLP Big Brother applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. Apply now!


The Men’s Leadership Project is an innovative community-based leadership development and mentoring program that connects UVA undergraduate men with local middle school boys. The big brothers and little brothers build strong, respectful relationship that help them both to grow as leaders in their schools, communities and families.

Big and little brothers’ year together begins in the fall and continues through the school year. A group of big brothers and little brothers spends one afternoon per week together at the little brothers’ middle school (except in any periods of virtual instruction at the local schools). Activities such as a ropes course are used to bring the whole group together as a team and to challenge the boys to stretch themselves physically and emotionally.

Successful applicants should plan to complete a round of interviews and a background check in order to join the MLP cohort.

MLP is sponsored by the Maxine Platzer Lynn Women's Center. Learn more about the Women's Center at: womenscenter.virginia.edu
