Introduction to Policy & Advocacy Careers

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.

Who Should Join

We encourage you to join if you are:

• Interested in a career in policy, advocacy, or organizing but are not ready to actively apply for roles
• Seeking to clarify your specific professional pathway within policy and advocacy
• Thinking of applying for the Policy & Advocacy Summer Fellowship
