Education Forum Leadership Schools help transform
today's young people into tomorrow's leaders.
These three-day training sessions introduce college
students to the political process by showing
them the nuts and bolts of a political campaign.
Participants gain practical experience and confidence
by running a simulated election campaign. Political
insiders with Capitol Hill experience help conduct
each Leadership School. LEF Leadership Schools
bring together fair-minded students from both
political parties.
Here are some actual
quotes from college students who attended a Leadership
School:
"If you
want to learn about how campaigns are run, then
this is the place to be at."
"I think
this conference will definitely create better
leaders."
"It was
a great program."
"We were
able to learn a lot of real-life political skills."
The fight for equality
must have a short-term and long-term component.
While it's critical to educate our nation's current
politicians, we also must educate this country's
next generation of leaders about these issues.
A recent poll conducted
for the Liberty Education Forum and other national
surveys show that young people are much more supportive
of gay and lesbian civil rights. We must take
advantage of this generational opportunity to
make sure our allies have the skills to get involved
in the political process. Leadership Schools help
accomplish this goal. Highlighting the importance
of public service and civic participation for
young people will help get them involved in the
political process.

sponsoring a Leadership School or hosting one

Investing in tomorrow's
leaders will help make inclusion and tolerance
permanent parts of American society. |
