Mission Statement
At NYC Leadership Academy we envision a nation where every school and school system is led by transformational leaders who prepare all children, especially the traditionally underserved, for success. We build the capacity of educational leaders, at every level of the system, to confront inequities and create the conditions necessary for all students to thrive.
Description
The NYC Leadership Academy (NYCLA) is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization with a clear vision: to support greater academic success for students across the nation-especially the most vulnerable-through high quality school leadership. We are firmly committed to preparing and supporting educational leaders so they can catalyze and sustain effective change across their organizations and educate students effectively. We do this by building the capacity of education systems across the country to develop and support their own leaders and bringing a standards-based and social justice-rooted approach to leadership development. Since 2003, more than 150 school districts, state departments of education, universities, and non-profits in 32 states have collaborated with NYCLA to prepare and support leaders who can transform schools and ensure all students have access to effective instruction and are nurtured socially, emotionally and academically.
