Join The Andrew Goodman Foundation as we celebrate the 10th National Civic Leadership Training Summit (NCLTS), our multi-day intensive civic leadership training for the Andrew Goodman Network.
This year’s summit comes at a pivotal moment. As the United States marks its 250th anniversary and we prepare for the 2026 Midterm Elections, we’ll come together to reflect on where we’ve been, examine the challenges and opportunities of our democracy today, and equip the next generation of civic leaders with the tools to create meaningful change.
The summit begins on Tuesday, August 4, with an Opening Ceremony that is open to the public. Friends, family members, community partners, and supporters are invited to join us for an evening of conversation and inspiration as we explore the past, present, and future of American democracy.
On August 5-6, Andrew Goodman Ambassadors, Champions, and campus partners will participate in two days of interactive trainings designed to prepare them for the Fall 2026 semester. Through sessions focused on education, voter mobilization, and election integrity, participants will gain practical skills, deepen their leadership, and connect with peers from across the country as they prepare to lead civic engagement efforts on their campuses and in their communities.
Whether you’re joining us for the Opening Ceremony or participating in the full training summit, we look forward to welcoming you as we celebrate a decade of empowering young people to lead, organize, and strengthen our democracy.
Additional speakers, session information, and event details will be announced soon. Register today to reserve your spot.
