The Chisholm Leadership Academy (CLA) is a 501(c)(3) organization that operates in six regions across Georgia. Founded in 2018, the organization’s mission is to cultivate a pipeline of middle and high school girls of color to become catalysts for change and to be inspired for bold careers in public service. CLA will leverage education, mentorship, and experiential instruction to become the state’s leader in culturally responsive civic education for girls of color. The organization centers the contributions, successes, and struggles of women of color in the public sector, including elected officials, public administrators, and activists, to empower girls to make significant challenges in their communities today and in the future. The organization’s programs will serve girls in the following metropolitan areas: Albany, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, and Savannah.  

CLA programs are driven by the generous contributions of individuals, businesses, and foundations. The organization is committed to providing high-quality civic education programming to girls from varied socioeconomic backgrounds, creating more equitable paths to elected and appointive office, and amplifying the voices of grassroots leaders.

 CLA’s work is steered by a talented and passionate group of volunteers and 90 percent or more of our annual funding goes directly to programs that empower, inspire, and educate girls and young women.
