The Community Leadership Training Day is a one-and-a-half-day experience designed to inspire and equip young people between the ages of 18 and 25 with the skills and tools they need to create change in their communities. We’ve already hosted Training Days in cities ranging from Tempe to Oakland to Oklahoma City. Take a look at the experiences of some of our recent participants in Dallas below.
