Eight community members with lived experience in poverty were selected to participate in a 6-week public speaking, social justice and advocacy-training program. Graduates of the program will have the opportunity to speak publicly (i.e. board meetings, community events, etc.) in order to put a human face to poverty.

The training started April 17th and will wrap up in mid-May. If you’re interested in booking a speaker from Advance Your Voice, please contact [email protected].
