We are in the midst of Regional Training season!
YP4 Regional Trainings are the 1st trainings that each of our Fellow’s receive. It serves as an introduction to who we are, foundational Social Justice leadership skill development and community building.
This month’s featured Fellow is Alyshia Gonzalez from Arizona.
When asked what the most eye-opening experience was for her at the L.A. Regional Training, Alyshia responded:
"The courts cohort training was life changing for me. I had no idea the lack of representation in all facets of the judicial system or that #45 has the power to fill the 129 federal judge vacancies that will oversee criminal cases. This particular training helped me to recenter my focus for my blueprint."
