Established in 2010, the NALCAB Pete Garcia Community Economic Development Fellowship was created to address the growing leadership gap in non-profit community economic development organizations serving low- and moderate-income Latino communities. The program was developed to ensure that next generation Latino leaders build the practical, personal, and professional skills needed to succeed in the community economic development field.
NALCAB is the only national organization that has developed culturally-relevant curricula and training methods specifically aimed at building the capacity of Latino-serving community development and asset building practitioners. The curriculum is specifically designed to help practitioners become more effective leaders through leadership development, technical training, and the facilitation of peer networks.
The NALCAB Pete Garcia Fellowship has graduated 137 Latino Leaders from across the country, representing 80 unique nonprofit organizations in 24 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
