Civic Leaders connects leaders of color with a variety of meaningful civic engagement opportunities.

Board Matching

Civic Leaders Board Matching matches leaders of color with nonprofit Boards and government Commissions. Moreover, the project ensures that these matches become successful by offering support, training and other resources to leaders and to the Boards and Commissions.

Leaders will gain access to leadership opportunities of interest to them. They will then receive opportunities to network with peers and take part in training designed to help them succeed.  Read more...
