Hosted by Urban Habitat, the Boards and Commissions Leadership Institute (BCLI) is a unique, free training program that supports residents (including youth) from low-income communities of color who are committed to advancing social justice, to serve on a public board or commission in their community. This six-month program helps participants to: 1) understand the local decision-making and policy process, 2) navigate the culture and language of commissions, and 3) it provides participants with individualized support throughout their commission service.  The deadline to apply is November 15, 2020 and applicants must be nominated by an organization. To learn more, please visit their webpage here.  We encourage you to share with your networks and/or consider nominating a local community leader to apply!
