Our annual LEAP conference attracts hundreds of student participants from across the state to take part in two days of civic engagement workshops, community empowerment, and advocacy in practice. The conference will prepare and provide students with the tools and resources to become actively engaged as leaders and advocates in their communities.  Student historically walks away from the conference empowered for better educational outcomes for themselves and others in our state. Educators who accompany students also have the opportunity to expand their professional development and their fluency in civics action curriculum. On the second day of the conference, students put their knowledge and training to practice as they will be meeting with their specific state legislators in Olympia and will be advocate for issue important to their communities.
