NLC Austin, Deep in the Heart of Texas.
NLC Austin develops, connects, and uplifts inclusive, intersectional leaders who transform our city through social, civil, and political change rooted in equity.
Trained over 115 Fellows, who are now members of the NLC Austin alumni network
Raised $75,000+ to train emerging leaders in Austin since 2016
Protests and movements for progress in Texas supported as a chapter
I get the honor of not only being surrounded by so many badass people who support the things that I hold close to my heart, but I also have the privilege of calling them family.
The NLC experience is transformational. I came in with only a hint of what NLC had to offer. On the other side of the fellowship, I have a tribe. Lifelong friends who I’ve been able to grow and work with. You’ll definitely learn a lot at NLC, but the most important thing you’ll gain is relationships.
