Military Spouse Leadership Development Program Opens Applications for 2025 Cohort

The Leadership Institute for Military Spouses by MSAN has announced the opening of applications for the 2025 cohort of the Military Spouse Leadership Development Program (MSLDP), presented by Car Donation Foundation's Vehicles for Veterans. This program, which is free, global, and virtual, is designed to empower military spouses by enhancing their leadership skills, enabling them to become change agents in their communities. The application period runs from May 9, 2025, to June 6, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. EST.

Participants in the MSLDP will engage in learning topics such as meta-leadership, crisis management, conflict resolution, communication, and mental health. Upon completion, they will earn a leadership certificate from the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard University and a Mental Health Ally certificate from Psych Hub. Additionally, graduates will be inducted into the Military Spouse Alumni Network, hosted in collaboration with Zeromils, for ongoing learning and networking opportunities.

Eligibility for the program extends to spouses of currently serving United States military members from any branch, including the Reserves and Guard, as well as post 9-11 Gold Star Spouses, Surviving Spouses, Caregivers, and Spouses of Veterans or Retirees.
