The Introduction to Policy and Advocacy Careers Workshop is a virtual program that aims to demystify policy and advocacy and prepare members to explore opportunities in their region. It consists of a series of self-paced modules or a 90-min live virtual event where members will get to hear from leaders in the field. Through this experience, you will:

  • Understand the varied roles and organizations that comprise the fields of policy and advocacy 
  • Identify the type of role best suited to your goals and interests
  • Map your policy landscape and identify a local leader to job shadow

Following the workshop, LEE staff will also be available to provide follow up support and resources to participants.
