Neighborhood Leadership Institute is a small nonprofit in the United States focused on grassroots leadership development and strengthening community bonds. It supports neighborhood-driven initiatives through programs such as mentoring, a Community Book Club, and resources for local organizers. The organization aims to empower neighborhood leaders and residents to identify local priorities and mobilize action, with activities centered on urban communities. In November 2024, Saint Luke's Foundation announced a partnership with NLI to launch a Lift Every Voice 216 policy-change canvassing effort in Cleveland's Buckeye-Shaker, Woodland, and Mt. Pleasant neighborhoods. The institute has a history of community engagement activities, including the Community Priorities Surveys and the True2U mentoring program, as well as ongoing book club initiatives. Operating with a small staff, NLI positions itself as a locally focused provider of leadership development and organizing resources within the nonprofit landscape.
