Help Plan the Next Round of our Action Groups Project
Last year, we began the Action Groups as a pilot project, run by young members. The planners wanted an opportunity to take leadership within the organization and run a project of their choice, and in the process to meet other young members and established civic leaders and to get experience doing civic organizing. The project was a great success (read more about it here), and we're getting started on the second round.
We're looking for young members who would like to put this project together - we will be planning it from the ground up. If you're interested, contact Annie Levenson-Falk at alevensonfalk@citizensleague.org or 651-293-0575 x16.
