Michigan Gun Violence Prevention Advocacy Training Program

Save to Favorites

The Team ENOUGH Youth Advocacy Training Program, also known as the Lobbying Collective is the only national, youth-led lobbying group for gun reform. We're seeking young people across Michigan to join us in urging state and local legislators to pass gun violence prevention legislation. We'll train you on the skills you need to effectively push for life-saving legislation with your legislators! Please read the position expectations before applying.

The format of the Lobbying Collective consists of 8 webinars presented by Team ENOUGH leaders and/or experts within the gun violence prevention field. We will educate you about specific skills of lobbying and the different intersections of gun violence. In the past, these webinars have been held every two weeks, but the frequency will depend on the availability of the Lobbying Collective cohort. These meetings will prepare you with the skills and knowledge that you need to conduct lobbying on gun violence prevention legislation. We anticipate virtual lobby days as many of our members are spread out across Michigan, but we hope to have an in-person lobby day (transportation and other logistics are still being worked out) at the Michigan State Capitol.
If you have any questions about applying or the collective, please reach out to:
Robert Schentrup at rschentrup@teamenough.org

- Must actively participate in all of our (8-9) webinars and all lobbying days (we are flexible with scheduling conflicts).
