June 27-29: 2025 WV Summer Policy Insitute

Summer Policy Institute 2025 is almost here! SPI is a convening focused on policy, where participants will learn the ins and outs of policy change, as well as crucial skills rooted in community engagement and grassroots mobilization. Policy sessions will equip participants to focus on defining the problem as a key first step before progressing to proposing solutions. Fully finalized policy ideas that emerge from SPI will be directly connected to the people most impacted. 

This year we are excited to announce a Public Education as our policy focus. We will learn about policy writing, research, coalition building, power mapping, and other helpful data-driven skills through the lens of public education.
