Welcome to the Natural Leaders Initiative!

The Natural Leaders Initiative (NLI) was started in January 2007 to support talented people grow as community leaders. The NLI supports talented people to put their ideas into action, learn new skills, meet others who care about improving the community. We also help community boards, committees and organizations build their capacity to recognize, recruit, support and retain new leaders from under-represented groups.

"I was able to see that we made something happen. We came up with an idea and saw it though. I might not have thought I was much of a leader [before], but I do have leadership" -- NLI participant

Are You a Natural Leader?

• Do you have ideas about how to make things better in the community?
• Do you get things done?
• Do people come to you for help?
• Do you get others to share their ideas and get involved?
• Do you like meeting new people and learning new things?
• Do you want to be around others who want to improve community life, and have fun while doing it?

If so, the Natural Leaders Initiative may be right for you! Find out more...
