Incubating a New Generation of Leaders
On the 50th anniversary of the Voting Right Act, The Andrew Goodman Foundation hosted its first National Civic Leadership Training Summit. Every year, we bring together Vote Everywhere Ambassadors from participating campuses for four days of intensive training. Through hands-on projects, lectures, and leadership development activities, Vote Everywhere Ambassadors learn the fundamentals of impact-oriented campus organizing and voter engagement. The Summit is offered exclusively to AGF Vote Everywhere Ambassadors, with preference given to Team Leaders. For more information, contact your school’s Program Manager.
“At the Summit, I witnessed the transformational ideas of the Ambassadors. They are a moving tribute to the legacy of Goodman, Chaney and Schwerner.”
