February 17, 2023

We are very excited to announce our new class of over 60 leaders in Louisiana, Memphis, and Washington, D.C.! These leaders are passionate advocates for equitable policy, community engagement, and civic action in their communities.‍

“Each fellow brings something powerful and unique to their communities and to leadership within them. Over the coming year, it is our goal to provide these community leaders with the skills, knowledge, and tools that they need to make a positive impact on their local public schools, their local communities, and well beyond.” said Mike Bland, Vice President, Leaders of Color.

Since our launch in 2018 in Memphis, Leaders of Color has built a powerful group of more than 200 leaders across the nation who are united in our mission to improve education outcomes for Black and Latino children by identifying, training and elevating Black and Latino community leaders to create civic and political change. Leaders of Color program alumni are impacting both political and civic spaces across the nation. Some 75 percent are in community leadership positions and 32 percent are engaged politically, either running for political office themselves or serving on a campaign.

Please join us as we welcome our new leaders:
