Nehemiah Center for Urban Leadership Development

Vision: There is a need and desire for a stronger Madison for all—therefore, we focus on strengthening the African-American community. Nehemiah cultivates character, leadership, and economic development for the African-American community through culturally grounded programs. Our Justified Anger initiative works to eliminate racial disparities in the greater Madison area by developing relationships, solutions, and systems.

Values: 

• Connecting with people through meaningful relationships
• Rebuilding the cultural and spiritual identity of those we serve
• Respecting the inherent worth and value of each person
• Serving with cultural awareness and competency
• Honoring the wisdom and leadership within the community

Volunteer requirements include completion of the Volunteer Onboarding Course, proficiency with Google Suite, email management, and other administrative skills.
