Overview:
The Board of Directors of Neighborhood Leadership Institute (NLI) seeks a committed, visionary, and innovative leader to serve as its next executive director and to drive the mission, vision, and strategic plan of the organization in partnership with NLI’s Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers. NLI exists to develop grassroots leaders who help rebuild the bonds of community and improve the quality of life for neighborhood residents throughout Greater Cleveland.
Background:
The seeds of Neighborhood Leadership Institute were planted by graduates of early classes of Neighborhood Leadership Cleveland (NLC), which started in 1994 as a program of the Neighborhood Centers Association. NLI was incorporated in 2001 with three NLC grads as trustees, to develop a new organization to foster grassroots leadership. They eventually took over the NLC program, as well as an out of school time program called Schools as Neighborhood Resources (SNR). NLI grew its Board and staff and has operated afterschool and summer SNR sites and graduated leaders from 37 classes of Neighborhood Leadership Cleveland, plus numerous neighborhood-based and special-focus sessions. The strength of this ever-growing pool of trained leaders, along with the gifted and giving staff developed, have allowed NLI to become the go-to organization for development of grassroots leaders in Greater Cleveland, along with providing technical assistance in starting analogous programs throughout Ohio.
