2025 Emerging Leaders Network Program: Cultivating Bold Voices for Reproductive Justice
Collective Power for Reproductive Justice is proud to relaunch the Emerging Leaders Network—previously generally known as the New Leadership Networking Initiative (NLNI)—as a reimagined, year-long management growth program starting in Fall 2025.
About the Program
The Emerging Leaders Network is a nationwide initiative designed to coach and help rising group activists who’re working to advance reproductive well being, rights, and justice. Through intentional ability constructing, coalition growth, and deep relationship constructing, this system fosters a strong, linked community of reproductive justice leaders.
In alignment with Collective Power’s broader mission, this system emphasizes a holistic understanding of reproductive justice—one which highlights its intersection with different social justice actions.
What’s New in 2025
The redesigned Emerging Leaders Network will now comply with a year-long cohort mannequin, offering sustained help and alternatives for progress. Participants will have interaction in:
- Monthly cohort calls
- Two in-person convenings
- A collaborative curriculum centered on motion technique, political schooling, and management growth
This new construction is rooted within the perception that lasting change is constructed via ongoing group, collaboration, and care.
Who Should Apply?
This program is good for rising organizers who:
- Have just a few years of group organizing expertise
- Are able to sharpen their management and political technique abilities
- Want to construct coalitions throughout sectors and identities
- Are dedicated to studying with and from friends
- Believe within the energy of collective motion constructing
We consider that management can emerge at any stage of life, and we welcome candidates of all ages, backgrounds, and geographies. For the 2025–2026 cohort, we’re particularly encouraging place-based organizers—notably these from rural and small-town communities—to apply.
Program Legacy
Since 1999, this initiative has supported over 1,000 activists from 275 organizations in strengthening advocacy abilities, constructing networks, and growing strategic approaches to justice work. Alumni embody current graduates, new leaders at advocacy organizations, rising administrators of grassroots teams, and seasoned organizers trying to deepen their affect.
As Paris Hatcher, founding father of Black Feminist Future, shares:
“What makes CLPP unique is its intentionality around leadership development – they’re creating a space for both new and experienced leaders with a focus on skill building and issues. It’s a rite of passage – all movement leaders have been through CLPP’s programs.”
