Looking for a meaningful way to get more involved in your community?

Join us in Houston for Mix and Mobilize, a relaxed happy hour designed to connect you with local nonprofits, fellow community leaders, and practical opportunities to create change.

Meet issue experts, learn about the causes shaping your community, and discover hands-on ways to volunteer, advocate, and strengthen your civic leadership.

Whether you're looking to grow your network, support a cause you care about, or simply find your place in your local civic community, this is a great place to start.

LEE is offering Values in Tension, a workshop in Lead with Purpose: A Civic Leadership Series for Educators.

If you are an early-career educator navigating competing priorities, high-pressure moments, or situations where your values are tested, this workshop is for you.

You will identify the personal values that drive your work, build practical tools for navigating difficult moments, and learn more about the LEE community and membership offerings available to support you.

Choose from multiple August session dates.

People do not always volunteer because they do not care.

Sometimes the ask feels too big, too unclear, or too open-ended.

Instead of asking, “Who wants to help?” make the first step smaller.

Try:

“Can you take the first 10 minutes?”
or
“Can you help with one part of this?”

A smaller ask lowers the pressure and makes it easier for someone to say yes.

That is how momentum starts.

What if the next leader your community needs is already living in your neighborhood?

Many people are interested in public service but are unsure where to begin. Local leadership can feel unfamiliar, even though it is one of the most accessible ways to create lasting change.

Join us for EL Inspire Series: Neighborhood & Schools, a virtual conversation with current and former elected leaders who will share what it takes to serve your community through neighborhood and school-based leadership.

You'll gain a better understanding of local offices, learn what the path to candidacy really looks like, and leave with practical next steps for exploring elected leadership.

If you've ever wondered whether public office could be part of your leadership journey, this conversation is for you.

ATLANTA, your impact doesn't have to stop at the classroom door.

Every day, educators help shape the future of their students. Principal Advisory Councils provide another way to lead by influencing school decisions, strengthening family engagement, and helping create better outcomes for the entire school community.

Join us for Expanding Your Impact: DeKalb PACs to hear from current council members, learn how Principal Advisory Councils work, and explore whether this leadership opportunity is right for you.

If you're ready to expand your leadership and make an even greater impact in your school community, we'd love to have you join us.

What if the change you want to see starts with local leadership?

School boards, city councils, county commissions, and mayoral offices make decisions that affect our daily lives. Yet many aspiring leaders aren't sure how to take the first step toward serving their communities.

Join us for EL Inspire Series: Local & Municipal, a virtual conversation with current and former elected leaders who will share what it takes to campaign, govern, and create lasting impact through local public service.

Whether you're exploring a future run for office or simply want to better understand how local government works, you'll gain practical insights, hear real leadership stories, and leave with a clearer path forward.

What does meaningful community leadership look like?

There is no single path to creating change. Some leaders organize their neighbors. Others advocate for policy, serve on boards, run for office, or build solutions from within their communities.

The DC Action Summit is an opportunity to explore those pathways and discover where your own leadership can make the greatest impact.

You'll hear from local changemakers, reflect on the issues shaping your community, and learn how LEE supports leaders through coaching, training, resources, and a powerful network of peers committed to creating lasting change.

Whether you're just beginning your civic journey or looking for your next step, this conversation is designed to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
