Building Power, Growing Leaders, and Advancing Change from the Ground Up
The Community Leadership Council is a leadership and civic engagement body of the Black Women’s Policy Center designed to develop, support, and mobilize Black women as change agents in their communities.
​
The Council brings together Black women who are committed to shaping policies, influencing decision-making, and strengthening civic participation at the local, state, and federal levels.
​
Council members receive leadership development, policy education, and hands-on advocacy opportunities while working collectively to address issues impacting Black women, Black families, and Black girls. The Council serves as a bridge between lived experience and policy action — ensuring that the voices of Black women inform solutions, campaigns, and systems change.
​
Through advocacy training, community engagement, and collaborative action, the Community Leadership Council builds leadership pipelines, increases civic participation, and advances equity-driven policy priorities rooted in community needs.
