Make an Impact with Public Policy

Students who are curious about why bad policies are perpetuated, how to fix them, at what level of government is there opportunity for positive change, and the role of non-profits in transforming democracy are an ideal fit. If you have students who are always talking about local politics, involved in any kind of civic engagement, and are seeking concrete opportunities to train themselves to be effective change leaders in their communities, please send them our way.
