Our Mission

Our mission is to recruit, develop, and empower a community of emerging and current progressive leaders through Institute and connecting our membership to civic engagement and community building opportunities to ensure a sustainable and inclusive Miami.

WHAT WE DO

Institute & Training

Through Institute each year, Miami’s Next Leaders trains and develops young progressive professionals who have demonstrated strong leadership skills and a commitment to Miami through their involvement in the community. We believe that in order to make a better Miami, we need driven, compassionate, and impact-oriented leaders in a variety of sectors pushing for progressive change.  

Institute is the formal leadership training course for Miami’s Next Leaders. Participants spend five weekends creating a deep network of allies and learning about issues affecting our community.

Institute participants will partake in opportunities including but not limited to the following:

• Participate in skill-building trainings relevant for professionals in all sectors through dynamic workshops;

• Immerse themselves in issues affecting Miami alongside community leaders and change makers;

• Identify specific personal leadership and career goals and a personal plan of action to impact the community through a capstone project;

• Engage with other progressives working across Miami through our alumni network; and,

• Receive coaching from a mentor who will support them on their path to leadership development and personal growth.

The 2020 Institute will be held from February through June 2019.  Please click here to apply.
