The Front Line Leaders Academy is a leadership development program offered every year by the Young Elected Officials (YEO) Network and YP4 to 20 talented young people who are interested in greater civic participation. By providing them with the opportunity to learn successful skills and tactics from YEOs and campaign experts, participants learn the basic skills needed for working on a campaign or even someday running for office themselves.
The event kicked off Friday afternoon with guest speaker Congressmember Karen Bass of California's 37th District and a NationBuilder training led by Armughan Syed.
