Just this month, the NLC San Diego graduated its 2011 class of Fellows.
For the second year in a row, we have recruited and trained some of the most talented young people in our region. And we expect great things from them in the coming years.
You can see photos of San Diego’s graduation and our 2011 Institute here.
The NLC Institute in San Diego is a 6-month training program that provides progressive young professionals with skills and relationships to make change in San Diego. The Fellowship includes:
- Local faculty that volunteer to share their expertise in communications, political organizing, fundraising and policy.
- Pairing with mentors that include elected officials, Executive Directors of nonprofits, and prominent business and labor leaders.
- Building deep relationships with members of the NLC Community that span the breadth of San Diego's diverse and growing progressive community.
Our local NLC Advisory Board treats the NLC Fellowship as a collaboration of progressive stakeholders in San Diego, to invest in our community’s human capital. Our philosophy is that to move San Diego forward, we need capable progressives from the private sector, nonprofits, and in public service.
Our local chapter doesn’t require much money to operate and most of our support has come in the form of time, relationships, and skill.
On behalf of our local Advisory Board, Fellows and Alumni, we thank you for your contiuned support. We are humbled by the generosity of individuals and organizations that contribute to building our local NLC chapter.
