The City College of Cagayan de Oro (CCCDO), through its Extension and Outreach Office and the City College Volunteerism and Involvement Center (CIVIC), successfully concluded Mission 626: A Bridging Leadership Crash Course on April 26–27, 2025, at the CCCDO Campus.
Organized in partnership with Andam Higala Inc. through its Higala Leadership Program, the two-day capacity-building initiative brought together a diverse group of young leaders — including CIVIC volunteers, aspiring Student Council and CSG officers, student leaders from USTP and Liceo de Cagayan University, and even Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials from local barangays.
Mission 626 aimed to cultivate values-based, servant leaders who are equipped to take on real-world responsibilities in community service and student governance.
The leadership training featured dynamic workshops and sessions on civic engagement, project and event management, volunteerism, social innovation, and reflective team-building activities. Participants were guided by two respected leadership advocates:
🔹 Ms. Herna Francis Mae B. Tano, MM, Director of the CCCDO Extension and Outreach Office and Executive Director of Andam Higala Inc., who discussed Bridging Leadership through Ownership and Co-Creation.
🔹 Mr. Lord Saver D. Centina, MPSM, Officer-in-Charge of the Oro Youth Development Office, who tackled Co-Ownership in Leadership: From Authority to Accountability.
Both speakers inspired participants to embrace deeper accountability, collaboration, and purpose-driven leadership. The event also provided valuable networking opportunities among young leaders from various institutions and backgrounds, reinforcing the belief that leadership thrives through unity and community.
Mission 626 highlights CCCDO’s ongoing commitment to holistic student development, civic responsibility, and community transformation through volunteerism and inclusive leadership.
