NLC Los Angeles trains, connects, and uplifts the next generation of leadership in Los Angeles.
NLC Los Angeles advances progress in Los Angeles by uplifting the voices of community members across sectors, connecting them to training and resources, and building a strong network of leaders championing justice in Los Angeles and beyond.
We’ve trained 313 leaders since our founding.
We offer two place-based programs: the NLC Institute and NLC Engaged.
Years serving leaders in Los Angeles.
“New Leaders Council gives me a space for inspiration and hope. It is a community that makes me feel stronger, more energized, and emboldened to continue fighting for the things I believe in.”
Following my first Institute weekend in January 2020, the collective power in the room was inspiring. Although we would soon make the transition to virtual programming, we developed a great bond. Now, with Los Angeles and the nation focused on recovery, it’s more important than ever that we’re identifying and empowering proximate leaders for the work ahead.
