Next Generation Leadership Institute
About the program
The Next Generation Leadership Institute (NGLI) is cultivating the next generation of Reproductive Justice leaders at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
NGLI equips emerging leaders with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to lead. Fellows are building power on their campuses, advancing Reproductive Justice in their communities, and shaping the future of the movement.
Since 2018, NGLI fellows have transformed learning into leadership, and leadership into impact. From organizing campus programs and expanding access to essential resources, to mobilizing their peers around civic engagement and Reproductive Justice, fellows are creating long-lasting impact and tangible change on campus and in their broader communities.
Announcing! The Largest NGLI Class in History
The Next Generation Leadership Institute is expanding its reach and impact with the 2026–2028 class, the largest class in the fellowship’s history.
This historic cohort welcomes 15 emerging Reproductive Justice leaders representing 11 HBCUs, the strongest campus reach in NGLI’s history.
With new universities joining the Institute and more student leaders stepping into the movement, this class reflects the growing power, leadership, and momentum of the next generation.
