New Leaders Council Houston helps train the next generation of community leaders. This group is part of a national program that focuses on teaching young people from different backgrounds how to make positive changes in their communities. The program brings together people who work in nonprofits, businesses, government, and grassroots organizing.
Their main program is a five-month fellowship that teaches important skills like strategic communications, fundraising, policy, and equity. Participants learn how to be better leaders and create more inclusive spaces. After completing the program, people join an alumni network where they can continue working together on local and national projects.
NLC Houston also offers Leadership Labs and public events that help people develop professionally and learn more about civic issues. The organization believes that lasting change requires brave and collaborative leadership. They prepare leaders to tackle Houston's biggest challenges with honesty, empathy, and bold new ideas.
The program helps participants learn to lead wherever they are and build the relationships needed to create real change in their communities.
