Leaders of Color identifies, trains, and supports community-based Black and Latino civic leaders, empowering them with the tools and resources to advance educational equity and the broader cause of racial justice. The Leaders of Color program fills the gap between the tremendous talent of community-based leaders of color and the resources and investment required to empower those leaders to create lasting civic and electoral change.
We specifically support leaders who may not typically have the opportunities and institutional support to run for public office, helping them develop the skills and leadership experiences needed to make national and global impact.
Here’s how we do it:
Our intensive, 70-hour training program equips our fellows with the skills, knowledge, and network to become political and civic engagement leaders.
We support our alumni with ongoing personalized coaching to achieve tangible results in civic change.
We work to build connections in Black and Latino communities to build power and increase equity across sectors.
Leaders of Color alumni lead political and civic change to improve outcomes for our children.
Our monthly newsletter provides a snapshot of our work to build Black and Latino civic engagement and political power in our communities.
