• Get up-to-date facts about legislation and reproductive health worldwide
• Learn about public education, fundraising, and lobbying
• Learn fundamental skills like working with media and opposition research

• Develop leadership and organizing skills
• Network with other young pro-choice activists
As a graduate of the Academy, you will return to your community with a national network of fellow pro-choice activists and the long-term support of Choice USA staff, who will help you implement your strategies for change. Please share this with young leaders around the nation.

I hope you can join us! Please apply now!
