The mission of the Long Island Center for Nonprofit Leadership is to promote excellence in leadership by providing multifacted resources that are responsive to the needs of Long Island's nonprofit sector. The Center offers programs and services for executive directors, boards of directors, and new and emerging leaders and their organizations on Long Island. The Center is committed to supporting and building leadership in underserved communities.

The Center’s mission is based on a belief that organizational effectiveness is achieved through excellence in leadership.

Housed in the School of Social Work, the Center offers services that focus on four areas:
  • leadership development, targeting new and emerging leaders
  • leadership support, providing resources for current executive directors
  • leadership transition, working with departing leaders and their organizations
  • nonprofit governance, focusing on the crucial work of the board of directors and its leadership role.

The Center addresses both leader development (individual skills) and leadership development (organizational skills). The delivery models vary according to need and include formal training, peer-to-peer networking, mentoring and onsite programs.
