  • How families can engage with school board decisions
  • Ways to advocate for equitable access to enrichment and support services
  • Building partnerships that uplift all students
  • Upcoming opportunities to get involved, including candidate forums and legislative outreach
🤝 Whether you’re new to advocacy or a seasoned changemaker, this roundtable is a space to learn, connect, and take action—together.
Event Details:
      • Date: Tuesday, September 9, 2025
