New Leaders Council (NLC) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that engages a diverse, collaborative national network of progressive political entrepreneurs. The gateway to this network is NLC's flagship program, the NLC Institute, a rigorous 5-month training program that focuses on entrepreneurship, advocacy, team-building, and other change-maker skills. NLC seeks out the top tier of emerging progressive leaders from around the country for the Institute, building a collaborative community of vetted, trained progressive leaders with the skills and support system to help to change the way politics is done and foster a more equitable, just America.
