Summer 2022 Sessions: Building Effective Political Campaigns

July 19, 2022

Our work is to provide the tools, skills, knowledge and education that talented community members need to become change agents for Black and Hispanic children. One way that we do this is through workshops that provide critical skills and information. In the summer of 2022, the Leaders of Color program is providing a series of three workshops that are focused on building effective political campaigns. The sessions, featuring Leaders of Color staff who are seasoned political operatives, are designed to introduce best practices for emerging political leaders.
