Working in partnership with NCLR's Affiliates, local and state governments, training and education providers, businesses, and other strategic partners, WFD builds programs that bridge Latino workers' education and skill gaps and that prepare them for lifelong career advancement. The Lideres Initiative is a national program designed to maximize opportunities for Latino youth that will elevate their influence as leaders in the United States. Our goal is to raise up new leaders - corporate executives, public officials, activists, and organizers - who will serve their communities and promote social justice at the local and national levels. The Affiliate Member Services (AMS) component collaborates with NCLR's program and policy staff to facilitate relationships between NCLR and its national network of Affiliates by supporting and complementing their on-the-ground efforts to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans. To increase the effectiveness of the NCLR-Affiliate partnership, AMS has developed several categories for those Affiliates who engage more deeply with NCLR in specific areas of work: Advocacy Partners, Program Partners, Institutional Partners, and Next Generation Partners. In addition, an important part of AMS's national and regional effort is the NCLR Affiliate Council - a 12-member advisory body of Affiliate executive directors from six regions of the country which represents and serves as a voice for our partnership, providing input on programmatic priorities of the Latino community, the public positions of NCLR, and the most effective ways to strengthen regional networks and promote the work of Affiliates.
