What do we do?

The Progressive Leadership Initiative aims to expand the leadership potential of diverse young people through research, peer educational programs, and personalized leadership coaching.

Our team of researchers and seasoned leadership coaches is dedicated to collaborating with emerging youth leaders in entry to mid-level roles within civic and social justice non-profit organizations.

Our primary goal is to support emerging leaders in transcending self-limiting beliefs and realizing their greatest potential.

Through the provision of comprehensive educational resources and tailored coaching, we will empower individuals, nurturing their agency, confidence, and aptitude for effective leadership.
