Detroit, MI (1888PressRelease) March 01, 2016 - The Detroit Chapter of New Leaders Council (NLC) has accepted 20 new fellows for their 2016 Fellowship class.
NLC is an exciting network of individuals, highly-skilled in working together across sectors to ensure strong democracy, social justice, and equal opportunity. Their mission is to recruit, train and promote the progressive, political entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

Through a vigorous selection process of testing, interviews, and personal essays 20 future leaders were selected from over 100 applicants. Once all program requirements have been met, including planning and coordinating a large charity event, the fellows will graduate from the program and join over 3,000 NLC alumni in over 35 different chapters across the nation, later this summer.

"The fellows of the New Leaders Council - Detroit chapter are comprised of some of the brightest, most talented, young professionals and entrepreneurs in the city. The program equips them with tools, strengthen existing skills and teaches them about available resources and new opportunities," said Chapter Director, Dr. Cecil Forbes. "Each fellow is asked to complete a capstone project of their own to 'put practice to action.' And while the program does have an official start and end, the capstone projects fulfill real-life needs and create opportunities to give back to our community. Three of last year's fellows came together with the successful creation of Detroit E3, they visit classrooms to inspire and encourage young minds and we absolutely cannot wait to see how the 2016 class keeps the momentum going with their individual capstones."

The current NLC Curriculum includes Messaging & Framing, Tech & New Media, Public Relations & Marketing, Leadership & Values, Political Management and Fundraising. Industry leaders from all over the country will teach these courses and test the skills of each fellow.

A meet & greet to introduce the 2016 Fellows Class has been scheduled for March 2, 6-8pm at PV Lounge |1435 Randolph Harmonie Park |Detroit, MI 48226. An RSVP is required.
