Meet CPL New Leaders

CPL’s New Leaders Program is building a more diverse progressive movement by linking young leaders from around the country to paid positions at progressive organizations and helping jump-start lifelong careers to advance social justice and equality.

"The New Leaders Program allowed me to believe in myself, my vision, and my ability to make change in the world. It allowed me to open my eyes to a large progressive community to build the coalitions necessary for true justice and equity.” - CPL Alumnus
