Indigenous Civic Leadership:
Uniting Community & Igniting Change
Albuquerque
Program Summary
The Indigenous Civic Leadership (ICL) Program is a three-week, grant-funded workforce and civic leadership program operated by NPAC.
The program prepares Native college-aged emerging professionals (18+) for careers through structured training and supervised learning placements.
Participants can expect:
Workforce and leadership development workshops
Professional mentorship
