NBJC Emerging Leaders Initiative

Join NBJC for Give OUT Day! Proceeds go to NBJC's Emerging Leaders Initiative. Give OUT Day is new national initiative that will mobilize thousands of people on a single day across the country to give in support of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community. Donate here. 

The National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) is dedicated to cultivating exemplary leadership in our community. It is with this proclamation that NBJC has developed the Black LGBT Emerging Leaders Initiative. This program is purposed with identifying young, rising stars (ages 18-30) in the Black LGBT movement as well as providing a platform and a space for standout leaders to use their voice, build networks, and take action in their communities. Not only is their perspective a critical one in shaping policies, their active involvement is essential to help grow the leadership pipeline necessary to sustain a vibrant, impactful equality movement.
