Leadership Development: We co-design and -facilitate leadership development opportunities in relational practice with community partner(s) and program participants.
- NEW Leadership Oregon (NLO)
An annual 6-month fellowship program open to students enrolled at Oregon colleges and universities, NLO is an intersectional feminist leadership program designed to inspire participants to identify and hone the skills they need to lead in any context — in their community, within the nonprofit sector, in the boardroom, in politics, at home, as activists, and anywhere else their leadership is needed (which is everywhere!). - Environmental Justice Fellowship
In this program, a collaboration with the Institute for Tribal Government new to the Center in the 2024-25 academic year, the Environmental Justice Fellowship recognizes, engages and amplifies our region’s emerging, Indigenous environmental justice leaders. - Turn Up Your Voice: Take Action for Change
This collaborative partnership with Rural Development Initiatives, now in its second year, provides rural leaders a unique and formative leadership opportunity with other rural-based women and gender-expansive leaders.
Convening Community: Bringing people together is crucial to building and strengthening the relationships that make our collective work possible. In a variety of formal and informal ways, we convene and host gatherings of campus and community partners to advance the connective tissue that makes possible, nurtures, and sustains transformative change.
