Afterschool professionals, educators, program leaders, and youth advocates are invited to discover how their voice can create meaningful change beyond their own programs. Drawing from my experience as a nonprofit leader and State School Board candidate, I'll share practical lessons about advocating for students, influencing education policy, building relationships with decision-makers, and effectively telling your program's story. You'll leave with actionable strategies and resources to confidently engage with school boards, legislators, community leaders, and families.
