NCLR Líderes Congreso Request for Proposal
The NCLR Líderes Initiative partners with local programs and organizations throughout the country to hold regional conferences-- NCLR Líderes Congresos-- designed to empower young Latinos. These gatherings offer young leaders an opportunity to learn new skills, network, collaborate, and develop as leaders.
The Líderes Congreso is a vehicle that brings together more than 100 high school and college-age youth for mutual exchange and learning. Attendees are recruited from the Líderes Network - high schools, after-school programs and clubs, and college student organizations - to learn about and discuss issues affecting the Latino community, such as education, careers, and public policy.
With funding from the MetLife Foundation, the NCLR Líderes Initiative will be soliciting proposals from its Affiliates to coordinate, lead, and document an NCLR Líderes Congreso and related local organizing and service activities.
To be eligible for consideration, Affiliates must be in compliance with NCLR Affiliate Member Services requirements and should:
Comply with general NCLR Affiliate membership responsibilities
Be up to date on Affiliate dues
Participate in at least two Líderes Network conventions and be available to present program activities at the 2009 NCLR Annual Conference.
Be able to provide a meeting space for the Congreso
Have an established network with outreach capabilities strong enough to secure the attendance of at least 150 youth.
Be able to meet the responsibilities as outlined in the Affiliate Planning Checklist.
Proposals should be submitted via email to bbonilla@nclr.org.
