“A Gateway for Possibilities”: Resident Leadership and Community Ownership
In this Spotlight for the Institute for Community Power, we look at three leadership development programs designed and implemented by LISC and local partners: Training the Trainers (T4T) in Houston; the Newark Resident Leadership Academy (NRLA); and Community Connectors in Philadelphia. What follows is not a comprehensive evaluation of the programs. Instead, this is meant to serve as a jumping off point for further exploration, identifying some of the key themes and topics that emerged from interviews with participants and tracing some of the impacts the programs had both on participants and their communities.

This Spotlight for the Institute for Community Power highlights contemporary efforts to advance community ownership by bringing residents together to elevate their voices and decision-making abilities. In it, we look at three programs designed and implemented by LISC and local partners: Training for Trainers (T4T) in Houston; the Newark Resident Leadership Academy (NRLA); and Community Connectors in Philadelphia.
