Lead for North Carolina

Lead for America recruits, trains, and place our nation’s most promising young leaders in two-year paid graduate fellowships in local governments as a means of strengthening America’s public institutions, supporting our local communities, and cultivating a new generation of transformational public service leaders.

Lead for North Carolina (LFNC) is the pilot state affiliate program of Lead for America, built with the vision of deepening the bench of transformational public leadership across the state. The pilot is run by the UNC Chapel Hill School of Government (SOG), in partnership with the NC City and County Managers Association (NCCCMA), NC League of Municipalities (NCLM), and NC Association of County Commissioners (NCACC).
