What is the Neighborhood Leadership Institute?

The Neighborhood Leadership Institute (NLI) is an annual twelve-week program that trains Dayton residents.  Workshops are held at various locations and presentations cover topics such as Dayton's History, The Role of City Government, The Criminal Justice System, and Cultural Diversity; skill-building components such as Public Speaking and Small-Group Dynamics; and a day-long bus tour of Dayton neighborhoods.  Class members also complete field assignments to expand their knowledge of Dayton, City government and the community at large.

The NLI offers the opportunity to meet and talk with government officials and other decision-makers.  It encourages participants to develop a citywide perspective and establish a network of activists across the City.
