Learn how to make a difference in Philly this Monday

Do you find yourself getting pissed at everyday norms in the city, but have no idea how to get started to make a real change locally?

Clean Water Action, Temple University, and PennFuture  are teaming up this Monday for an Advocacy 101 training.

According to an email from Micheal Roles, Clean Water Action:

“Young folks who are eager to take part in tackling local real-life community challenges will first receive a primer on basic advocacy and campaign development skills. From there, attendees will be provided a framework and have the opportunity to use their new-found skills when they form breakout groups to identify a local sustainability challenge, agree on a solution, and further collaborate together to begin building out an advocacy campaign around it.”

 

 

Essential Deets:

  • Monday, October 19th
  • 5:30PM – 7:30PM
  • Temple University Science Education & Research Center (SERC, 12th St. & Polett Walk), Room 108 AB

RSVP here to get in on the Monday change action.
