A great opportunity for emerging community leaders!

Exciting training opportunity to support emerging leaders of color in the nonprofit sector in - The Nonprofit Management Cohort for Emerging Leaders of Color. APPLY BY JUNE 6: http://ow.ly/vkA250JaGpy

"As a young and proud Latina in the nonprofit sector, I have found it extremely difficult to be unapologetically myself in every room I walk into, especially because many are very white-led spaces. This program has created a safe, judgement-free zone, where I can be the best version of myself around other folks who are also on similar journeys.

"This is a space where phenomenal humans come together to share knowledge and insight, admit mistakes and failures, and highlight milestones and breakthroughs. It has given me the strength to voice my frustrations and my aspirations.

"My fellow cohort peers have provided me so much guidance, support and solidarity throughout our time together and I genuinely hope the cohorts to come are also able to form incredible bonds to create dynamic and transformative change."
