NYAMWANGE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

The Nyamwange Leadership Academy (NLA) is a transformative leadership development experience for Black and Brown high school students who are deeply committed to supporting their communities. In this program, NLA Scholars attend workshops and seminars on leadership development, public speaking, financial literacy, and character development. They also discuss current events and complex social issues locally, during various field trips to Washington D.C., or at the offices of politicians and community advocates.

Through NLA, students receive dynamic, activity-based training using our proven 3-Prong Leadership Approach that develops a Skill Set, instills the proper Mindset, and provides a Toolkit for success.  This approach provides a socially and culturally relevant curriculum that keeps students excited and engaged throughout the immersive four-year program. Upon graduation from NLA, Scholars are more confident in their leadership abilities at home, in school, in the local community, and abroad.
