Campaign toolkits
Each school year, John Lewis Young Leaders chapters design a yearlong campaign focused on mobilizing peers to take action, build power, and participate in advocacy through organizing. The resources in these toolkits help support and shape those campaigns.
Whether you’re a seasoned youth activist or you’re building a club or student organization for the first time, these guides can help you harness your classmates’ collective energy to make real changes.
