About the Institute

Young Students with Sifu Abdur-Rahim MuhammadThe Hung Tao Choy Mei Leadership Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit leadership development organization focusing on the youth of Washington, DC.

By participating in the Leadership Institute's programs and attending the Institute's classes, students develop life-enhancing skills along with positive values, a sense of purpose and direction, and a commitment to progressive community development. Confidence and skills developed through our programs, equip students to set goals and enable them to reach those goals, while overcoming life's inevitable challenges.

The Institute's training program develops physical strength, a strong will, a quickened mind, and an ethical and moral base from which to evaluate one's own actions and those of others. Students learn self-reliance, personal responsibility, to strive for excellence, and to become successful adults and leaders in their chosen fields. Training at the HTCMLI is preparation for living a meaningful life.
