Strengthening and equipping cross-sector, civically-engaged leaders throughout Washington DC
Since its inception, NLC DC has supported and equipped more than 240 local leaders who are focused on shaping the future of the nation’s capital by ensuring it is a community that centers local needs, diverse ideas, and people across every industry.
Leaders trained since our founding.
Hours of training provided to emerging leaders in DC at no cost to participants.
Years serving place-based leaders in our community.
NLC DC helped me recenter the work I wanted to do and also prepare me to become the type of leader I wanted to be.
“NLC helped me to find the answers to: how do I find organizations and institutions that align with my values? What are some things I can do to strengthen my values, my advocacy and the ways in which I show up in spaces? NLC provided critical professional development in values-based leadership.”
