Central Coast United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) — Thinking About Public Leadership? Start Here

Have you — or someone you know – ever thought about stepping into public leadership, only to feel overwhelmed by where to begin?You’re not alone — and that’s exactly why the Justice Leadership Institute (JLI) exists.

Unidos 805, in partnership with CAUSE, FLA, MICOP, and the Fund for Santa Barbara, is proud to announce JLI, a six-month leadership academy designed to empower and equip progressive leaders from diverse backgrounds with the knowledge, confidence, and community needed to step into public service.

We know that barriers like institutional racism, systemic inequality, and gender bias have too often kept the people most impacted by policy out of decision-making spaces. JLI is here to change that.
