National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI)

The National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI) is an international leadership training organization based in Washington, D.C. NCBI trains leaders from all sectors of society to effectively address prejudice and discrimination within their settings. NCBI trainers are called on to lead diversity workshops and to serve as resources to intervene in polarizing situations and intergroup conflict.

NCBI teams are found in many cities in the United States and in other countries. The NCBI Campus Affiliate program establishes NCBI teams in colleges and universities across the United States. Columbia University serves as the headquarters for the NCBI Affiliate Program and is also home to an active NCBI Campus Affiliate Team. The Columbia NCBI Affiliate Team is composed of Columbia University students, staff, and administrators who meet monthly to work on their skill development and to prepare workshops and trainings for the Columbia community.
