Legacy Trust
LCRF’s leadership development and mentorship flagship program.
NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS!
Doing what we do best:
Empowering leaders, nurturing skills and facilitating mentorship for a stronger, longer reproductive justice movement.
Are you an emerging leader for justice?
We are looking for known or emerging leaders from across Louisiana who are ready to lead in the fight for Reproductive Justice. You don’t have to be a paid professional in the field, nor do you even need to be affiliated with an organization. We will train you in the hard skills you need and pair you with a movement mentor of your choosing to build you into the best strategic, centered, supported leader you can be.
We’re encouraging activists and supporters from BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and rural communities outside of NOLA to apply.
At the end of our 6-month training, you’ll commit to serving in leadership— either on a Board or Executive Committee- for LCRF or one of our member organizations.
Our hybrid training combines online modules (a few weekend hours monthly) with in-person sessions (one full weekend monthly). Exact schedule details are forthcoming!
All costs will be covered by LCRF.
Nurture the skills you need.
Growing in your personal leadership style and owning it!
Non Profit Board skills: Reading budget vs. actuals, fundraising for your non profit, conflict transformation, and more.
Long lunch and coffee breaks built in for networking
Wellness practices like yoga, journaling, reflection time, and grounding threaded into every session.
Intersecting with racial justice and anti-racism.
Intersecting with LGBTQ+ issues, particularly with how reproductive injustice affects trans bodies.
History of the work in Louisiana, from those who’ve made it.
Community Organizing skills that will work in every corner of Louisiana.
“Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.”
— Madam C.J. Walker.
