Emerging Policy & Advocacy Leaders Series

Explore policy & advocacy career opportunities alongside a community of like-minded leaders dedicated to equity in their communities.

This multi-day LEE workshop is your opportunity to build the skills, knowledge, and network you need to enter a new career in policy or advocacy. You will join a cohort of leaders from around the country with diverse backgrounds to develop your career readiness and deepen your conviction as a leader.

Our country needs leaders who share the background and perspective of those most impacted by inequitable policy and practices in decision-making positions.

Apply to the Emerging Policy and Advocacy Leadership Series to find how you can be that leader.

People of Color Cohorts

All of the cohorts we offer for this program are specifically for our members of color. In these identity-specific spaces, we offer an emphasis on what it means to be a leader of color and how to navigate that. You’ll do this in an intentional and safe space with other members of similar backgrounds and identities.

Who Should Join

We encourage you to participate if you:

• Identify as a person of color, Native American, or Indigenous.
• Are committed to pursuing a career and/or exploring your impact in a policy or advocacy role.
• Are looking to take action to expand your network and skills as you launch your career in policy and advocacy.
• Want to learn how to overcome internal and external barriers to your personal vision as a leader of color.

Preference will be given to members who:

• Have less than one year of experience in policy and/or advocacy
• Are seeking to transition to policy & advocacy careers in the next 0-12 months
• Have completed LEE’s Introduction to Policy & Advocacy Careers workshop or virtual modules
