Learn how to get civically engaged in a new community!
As a new TFA alum, we will explore your identity and core values, how these inform you leadership, and how they impact the kind of change they want to make. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how to use politics, policy, advocacy and organizing to achieve this change, as well as ways to get more involved in their communities. Members will also leave knowing how to leverage LEE’s programming and support to pursue volunteer, leadership and career opportunities in elected office, policy, advocacy and organizing for impact.
