The Civil Society Leadership Institute (CSLI) is a not-for-profit training center founded in February 2007 as a civic education initiative of FIBRAS/Movimiento por Nicaragua--one of the largest pro-democracy movements in Central America. His founding-director is Felix Maradiaga who is also a Young Global Leader (2009-2013) by the World Economic Forum and a Yale World Fellow (2008) by Yale University.
Its mission is twofold: to foster transformational leadership based on the ideas of liberty and democracy and to educate grassroots activists about the fundamentals and importance of non-violent social change.
To accomplish this mission, the Institute identifies recruits and trains grassroots democracy activists in Nicaragua. CSLI alumni embark upon a meaningful participation in the development of their communities.
CSLI signature academic programs--taught in conjunction with Universidad Americana based in Managua--help participants reflect on key concepts such as open society, adaptive leadership and the politics of non-violent action. In March 2007 CSLI became the first college-accredited leadership institute in Central America.
