Emerging Leaders for Community Change (ELCC) is an initiative of The Georgia Faith Forward Democracy (FFD) network, a multifaith, nonpartisan network of faith leaders which is supported by the Georgia Democracy Resilience Network and The Carter Center. We are united by a concern for our increasingly divided country and the impact those divisions have on our communities, families, and democracy. Recognizing that young people of faith are uniquely positioned to bridge divides, ELCC will empower the next generation of leaders to create meaningful, lasting change in their communities. People of all faiths, beliefs, and backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
