New Leadership Oregon

WHAT IS NEW LEADERSHIP OREGON? NLO is the award-winning women's leadership development program housed at the Center for Women, Politics & Policy at Portland State University. Open to college women enrolled at any college in the state of Oregon, NEW Leadership Oregon's goal is to develop an inclusive women-centered leadership program that will educate and encourage outstanding college women to develop career paths toward politics and public service.
WHAT DO NLO PARTICIPANTS LEARN?
NEW Leadership Oregon teaches leadership through action. Participants:

  *   Practice public speaking, planning, organizing, and networking to address real social problems.
  *   Draw on the expertise of seasoned coaches and the experiences of women leaders in government, business, science, and the community.
  *   Learn a set of skills designed specifically to prepare college women for public leadership.
NLO's intensive, six-day, residential leadership training program is specifically designed to introduce Oregon's college women to opportunities for public leadership. By participating in the NEW Leadership Oregon program, college women find out why and how to get involved in politics through interaction with Oregon's past and present women officeholders, candidates, policy specialists, and activists. Hands-on skills-building workshops teach women to lead by taking action.
