Affiliate organizations

What does it mean to be an Affiliate?

Our affiliates include a collective of forward-leading community leadership programs across the country. They have a shared belief that united national resources and strategies can amplify our ability to grow more and better civic leaders at a local level. These organizations have committed to sharing local data to track the social impact of community leadership programs on a national scale and participate in program expansion opportunities.

To find out more about adding your local community leadership program to our list of collaborators, please email Wendy Thomas at wendy@wendythomas.org.

If you are a CLP leader or staffer seeking a network of peers for connections, best-practice sharing, and an outstanding annual conference, check out the Association of Leadership Programs (ALP) at www.alpleaders.org. NCLC steering committee members are all proud members and active participants of ALP.
