New American Leaders: Central Valley, CA Recruitment Consultant

New American Leaders (NAL) is the only national, nonpartisan, 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to training immigrants and refugees to become successful candidates, campaign managers, and civic leaders. We define "New Americans" as first- and second-generation Americans, immigrants, refugees, and those who identify with the immigrant experience. These individuals' immigrant experience uniquely positions them to contribute to a more inclusive democracy.

Since our founding in 2010, NAL has embraced the immigrant experience as a civic leadership asset, providing a comprehensive arc of support that guides New Americans from initial candidate training through governance once they are in office. To date, NAL has trained over 2,000 New Americans across the country, with more than 200 alumni currently serving in elected or appointed positions, and nearly 100 running for office in 2026.
