Leadership Development

The Latino Center for Leadership Development (LCLD) is a non-partisan organization formed to create a pipeline of leaders and ideas equipped to address the challenges and opportunities of the Latino community.

Our vision is carried out through various efforts including an intensive leadership academy, a policy institute, and numerous strategic initiatives.

Through these efforts, the LCLD seeks to connect and effectively align policy, research, and practice for the immediate and long-term success of the Latino community.

In order to best address the rising opportunities and challenges faced by the Latino community, the Latino Center for Leadership Development provides:

• A year-long leadership academy for aspiring individuals.

• A policy institute that offers grants to researchers and a two-year fellowship for postdoctoral scholars.

• A set of strategic initiatives for community members to help address current challenges faced by Latinos
