Neighborhood Leadership Institute

Citizens Committee for New York City runs free workshops through the Neighborhood Leadership Institute (NLI), a program which trains community leaders to build strong and effective neighborhood organizations.

We offer workshops, one-on-one problem-solving and event planning services to neighborhood organizations. These sessions are free and designed for community groups and small nonprofits as well as individuals with big ideas for their neighborhoods. 

Our workshops cover the essentials of building strong community groups. This includes organizing and advocacy, grassroots fundraising and proposal writing, working with the media, developing a leadership board, and issue-based workshops tailored to the specific needs of your group.
