Wednesday, July 1, 2020
There is an amazing opportunity for young people in the United States to take advantage of ! Registration for YP4's Virtual Civic Engagement Training Series and Summit is now open.
Young People For (YP4) is a social justice incubator. YP4 provides life-long social justice leadership training to unlock the potential of young people historically left out of opportunity. They are a national network that centers black, brown, indigenous, disabled, and LGBTQ+ leaders in education, media, politics, business, government, and everywhere.
YP4 trains young people across the country to center civic engagement in their communities by centering the issues they care about. They are building a force of young people equipped to break down barriers to the ballot box and mobilize their communities to the polls. Not just for the next election, but for a lifetime.
The Virtual Civic Engagement Training Series will break down each level of government to explore what’s at stake for our communities using COVID- 19 as a case study.
