Regional Leadership Development Institutes
Want to take your local We Divest campaign work to the next level? Are you wanting to build, launch, or reinvigorate your local chapter? Do you want to help plan the national direction for the youth wing of JVP? Then JVP Regional Leadership Development Institutes are for you!
The first ever Regional Leadership Development Institute (LDI) was a fabulous success in the Midwest region in Summer 2011. Here’s what a few of the attendees had to say:
“The LDI reminded me what great power we have organizing together. Coming from varied organizing backgrounds, we energized each other to develop solid campaign strategies, and also had a blast getting to know each other.“ - Liza Behrendt
“The LDI gave me real hope that we can build an effective, powerful voice against Israeli human rights violations among young Jews in the US. Putting our minds together and realizing how much impact we can have was an amazing experience.” - Michael Deheeger
"The whole weekend felt like one big reunion, even though I had never met any of the other attendees before.. .By the second night, after the day’s work had ended, we even transformed a meeting room into a miniature dance party. As Michael Jackson, the Spice Girls and, yes, even ABBA blasted, we danced and laughed as if we had known each other our whole lives." - Badia Ead
JVP is excited to announce the opening of applications for our West Coast Regional Leadership Development Institute (LDI)!
This LDI will be held January 27-29th, 2012 in Portland, OR, and will include folks from throughout the West Coast region. Please fill out the application by December 31, 2011.
