Protests and movements for progress in Texas supported as a chapter

I get the honor of not only being surrounded by so many badass people who support the things that I hold close to my heart, but I also have the privilege of calling them family.⁣

– Brioana Jenkins (she/her)
2019 NLC Austin Fellow

The NLC experience is transformational. I came in with only a hint of what NLC had to offer. On the other side of the fellowship, I have a tribe. Lifelong friends who I’ve been able to grow and work with. You’ll definitely learn a lot at NLC, but the most important thing you’ll gain is relationships.
