We’ve provided 7,000+ hours of training to Portland’s emerging leaders, at no cost to participants.
Years serving place-based leaders in Portland.
“I really value the NLC community because it is filled with such passionate, smart, and like-minded folks from all different sectors of our community that are united by a dedication to making positive change in our shared world.”
“I would like to share deeply how I benefited from this program with New Leaders Council – Portland chapter. Truly, this group is doing the best it can to provide top notch training to help bring up the next generation of progressive leaders.
