“If you give me a fish you have fed me for a day. If you teach me how to fish then you’ve fed me until the river is contaminated and the shoreline seized for development. But if you teach me to organize, then whatever the challenge I can join together with my peers and we will fashion our own solution”

System Reform
close

At the Center for NuLeadership, we believe that transformation, empowerment and accountability must take place on three levels simultaneously: Individual, Community and System. We pursue system reform and change efforts by focusing on building a robust infrastructure for reform that is guided by principles of human rights and human development that ultimately leads to human justice. Building such an infrastructure for reform begins with 1) having a principled, active and participatory mechanism of oversight for quality control and improvement; 2) having a structured platform for analyzing system behavior and holding the system accountable; and 3) forging a genuine system-community partnership for ongoing engagement and community-specific solutions and outcome that expand and enable Community Empowerment and Individual Transformation.

If you want to go quickly, go alone; but, if you want to go further, go together.

Community Empowerment
close

At the Center for NuLeadership, we believe that transformation, empowerment and accountability must take place on three levels simultaneously: Individual, Community and System. We collaborate to expand community empowerment by focusing on building a robust infrastructure for empowerment that is guided by principles of human rights and human development that ultimately leads to human justice. Empowering communities is work that involves directing resources to people and institutions in targeted neighborhoods (Individual Transformation) to achieve engaged and sustainable community development and self-determination in theareas of education, economic development, civic engagement and social services. We do this work togenerate pools of community stakeholders who are equipped, trained and resourced to interface with system stakeholders for system reform. Our goal is that transformed individuals and empowered community stakeholders participate equitably in the decision making process.

You are not judged by the height you have risen, but from the depth you have climbed.

Individual Transformation
close

At the Center for NuLeadership, we believe that transformation, empowerment and accountability must take place on three levels simultaneously: Individual, Community and System. We collaborate to inspire and facilitate individual transformation by focusing on building leadership that is guided by principles of human rights and human development that ultimately leads to human justice. Our work on Individual Transformation places the person, the human being, at the center of any policy, advocacy, practices or programs that results in expanded and sustainable life opportunities and support networks that also evolve and grow. Individual Transformation work serves as reflective and connective strategy for anchoring our community empowerment and system reform efforts in the day-to-day.
