Years serving leaders in Los Angeles.

“New Leaders Council gives me a space for inspiration and hope. It is a community that makes me feel stronger, more energized, and emboldened to continue fighting for the things I believe in.”

– Lucerito Ortiz (she/her)
2016 NLC Fellow and Chapter Co-Director 2019-2021

Following my first Institute weekend in January 2020, the collective power in the room was inspiring. Although we would soon make the transition to virtual programming, we developed a great bond. Now, with Los Angeles and the nation focused on recovery, it’s more important than ever that we’re identifying and empowering proximate leaders for the work ahead.

– Michael Menjivar (he/him)
Chapter Director, 2019 Engaged Fellow, & 2020 Institute Fellow
