Native American Leadership Program
Continuing Paul and Sheila Wellstone's commitment to Indian Country, Wellstone Action created theNative American Leadership Program (NALP), designed to strengthen Native American leadership and civic engagement. There is increased demand in tribal communities for training on organizing to address such issues as increasing jobs and opportunities, lack of political representation, inadequate access to education and health care, environmental challenges, and high rates of domestic and sexual assault.
In partnership with tribes in Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota and throughout the country, this program will provide leadership and civic engagement skills training, culturally-specific training curricula, highly-skilled Native American trainers, and technical support for the creation of community action plans, to create a pipeline of Native leaders who are ready to step into key leadership positions in their communities.
