The Northwest Leadership Foundation exists to encourage, strengthen and develop leadership for the spiritual and social renewal of the city. Every day, we discover and empower urban leaders to engage in community based strategies on behalf of the poor and disenfranchised.
Currently Recruiting! Urban Leaders in Training (ULT) is our Americorps team consisting of young adults who commit a year of their lives to serve the city of Tacoma. Address critical issues such as youth development, education, urban development, the arts and the environment. For more information, please visit our website.
Mentor253 is a one-on-one mentoring program, built to strengthen connections between members of our community so that youth are encouraged to realize their full academic and personal potential. We are thrilled to have high school, college, and graduate students, parents, working and retired adults, educators, artists, athletes, musicians and all committed adults with a passion for seeing youth exceed and meet their goals.
On Friday, August 16, NLF is hosting our Annual “In Our Backyard Benefit BBQ” to celebrate the successes of youth, families, neighborhoods, and emerging leaders in our city. This year we are thrilled to partner with the Tacoma Rainiers and hold our event at Cheney Stadium! The event will include a catered meal and admission to the Tacoma Rainiers vs. Colorado Springs Sky Sox game.
