NEW Leadership^TM New York (NLNY), is a program of the Women's Leadership Academy (WLA) at the Center for Women in Government & Civil Society (CWGCS). In partnership with the National Education for Women’s  (NEW) Leadership Network, a bi-partisan program to educate college women about the political process and teach them to become effective leaders, NEW Leadership^TM New York is the first and only program of its kind in New York State.  A week-long, residential undergraduate leadership development program for women, NLNY strives to instill the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for effective political engagement and community organizing.

• Self-efficacy of participants regarding leadership capacity and capabilities;
• Knowledge of political and policy-making processes, and ways by which women can shape the public policy process;
• Leadership principles and approaches of women political and policy leaders; how political campaigns are organized and run;, and
• The critical importance of diversity in enriching the democratic political participation.
• Awareness and preparedness of career options in the fields of politics and public policy; and
• Skills in developing and organizing a campus or community engagement project at their home institutions or communities.
