About NAL:

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.

Scope of Work:

We believe the Central Valley’s future should be shaped by the people who call it home, its immigrant families, its first- and second-generation Americans, and the next generation of leaders rising across the region. We’ve built real momentum here, and we’re committed to this community for the long haul: building on the success of our training programs, deepening our work with training alumni, and growing a network of New American elected and appointed officials who are already governing in a way that reflects who we are.

As our Central Valley Recruitment Consultant, you’ll work alongside our national staff, recruiting emerging leaders into our Ready to Lead® training in Fresno and strengthening the local partnerships that keep this movement growing.

Deliverables:

1. Work Plan: The consultant will develop and propose an outreach plan to achieve the recruitment goals that aligns with and complements the organization’s existing outreach strategy in the Central Valley.
2. Recruitment outcome: The Consultant will achieve the goal of recruiting at least 16 attendees from the Central Valley region to attend the Ready To Lead® training program in Fresno by August 24, 2026.
3. Recruitment outcome: The consultant will recruit at least 10 attendees for the Ready To Lead® program celebration by September 4th ensuring attendees include a mix of community leaders, elected officials, and organizational representatives. 
4. Contact transfer: The Consultant will ensure that all organizational, applicant, and elected official contacts related to this project are effectively documented and transferred to the appropriate NAL staff member.
5. Final report and program debrief: At the completion of the contract, the Consultant will provide a final report detailing their work and provide recommendations for growth in the Central Valley and participate in the debrief call.
