Neighborhood Leadership Programs develop the skills of existing and emerging community leaders. By participating in these programs, participants enhance their ability to act on important community issues.

• The annual Six-month Neighborhood Leadership Program (NLP) is an in-depth program bringing together 30 diverse leaders from across the community in bi-monthly sessions to develop leadership skills and promote effective action. NLP also matches participants with community leadership coaches.


• Community-specific Leadership Programs are concise 18-hour trainings offered in a flexible format from two to seven weeks in length and adapted for specific community groups. Recent examples include:
     o Latina women
     o The Karen community (refugees from Burma)
     o Residents of public and supportive housing


• Link-Up Workshops are individual sessions that advance skill development, facilitate networking, and support ongoing action for alumni and other community members.

We appreciate your interest in NLP and hope our paths will cross in support of community leadership!
