Deputy Director of Programs & Operations (Leaders of Color Program)
Leaders of Color identifies, trains, and supports community leaders so that they have the tools and knowledge to be civic leaders. Our program launched in 2018 amidst significant social disruption, and was created to bridge the gap between the tremendous talent of community-based leaders of color and the resources and investment required to empower those leaders to create lasting civic change. And it's working. Our alumni serve in elected office, lead community-based organizations, and steer Boards of Directors. Our goal is to amplify the innate ability of local leaders to be change agents for their communities.
