Applications for the 2025 African American Leaders of Tomorrow program are now open!

Organized and led by the California Legislative Black Caucus, this annual flagship event invites high-achieving high school students from across California to participate in a four-day legislative and leadership convening.

Held on the beautiful CSUDH campus, current California high school sophomores and juniors are hand-selected to participate in dynamic workshops, civic engagement sessions, and deep exploration into the legislative process.

Students will experience dorm living and community dining for a curated, age-appropriate introductory college experience—all at no cost to families!

Driven by the responsibility to give back to the community,  the California Legislative Black Caucus developed AALT to lend its expertise to help cultivate the next generation of Black leaders equipped to tackle critical issues of the day. 

By supporting and investing in the academic excellence of our youth, the CLBC continues to  support communities by empowering the young minds that will some day lead.
