• Fueling local volunteers who drive culture and change in communities across the country
• Amplifying the voice of Black America to make sure solutions to our most pressing issues are equitable
• Working with activists and organizers in local NAACP branches
• Organizing marches, rallies, and direct action campaigns to bring attention to local issues
• Supporting access to quality education, healthcare, economic opportunities
• Participating in voter registration and get-out-the-vote campaigns
• Attending national events, regional conferences, and trainings to sharpen your advocacy and leadership skills
