MFI is a leadership development program of Dade Community Foundation. The Foundation created this program in 1999 to address Greater Miami's need to develop a base of emerging young leaders who have the breadth of knowledge, depth of understanding, and the network of relationships necessary to address Miami-Dade County's complex challenges.
The program provides individuals who live and work in Miami-Dade County and are in the early stage of their career and civic engagement an opportunity to learn, grow, and expand their community leadership in Greater Miami. MFI engages Fellows in hands-on learning laboratories that explore in-depth matters of leadership, Miami-Dade County's communities and issues. It offers dynamic interactions with established and emerging community leaders, practical skills-building activities and mentoring relationships. Each element serves to help Fellows leverage the potential of individuals and groups in our community, to forge relationships that bridge diversity on many levels, and to foster innovative, sustaining solutions to the complex issues facing Greater Miami.
Each class includes 16 to 18 men and women from a wide diversity of racial and ethnic backgrounds, professional roles and sectors. During the 18-month program, they have the opportunity to interact with a broad group of leaders, including public officials, journalists, historians, business executives, activists, foreign leaders and more. MFI Fellows customize selected program components to explore issues of critical interest to them and draw upon the experiences of MFI Alumni. In its first four classes, from 1999 to 2007, the program has brought together 70 passionate, inquisitive and dedicated emerging leaders - all connected through MFI.
