Neighborhood
Leadership Cleveland (NLC) is a 12-week leadership development program run
in partnership with Cleveland's Neighborhood Centers Association (NCA).
The program provides Cleveland residents the opportunity to be reflective
about their leadership activities, recognize their role as a neighborhood
leader, and provide information, skills, and resources to assist neighborhood
leaders in planning a future course for themselves
and their neighborhood. Active community leaders are recruited to participate
with neighborhood leaders from across the city in a program that affirms
their importance as leaders and provides them additional tools to enhance
their effectiveness. Program participants explore such topics as the different
definitions of leadership and leadership styles, decision-making analysis,
conflict resolution, and neighborhood goal setting. There is no charge for
the program in order to make it available to all city residents and to assure
that program cost is not a barrier to participation.
