Join a Leadership Program
Education leaders and community members have the opportunity to support a platform of crucial improvements in the education system.
But a lack of reflective leadership can pose barriers to changes that communities want to see in their schools.
Great Minnesota Schools develops leadership programs that train everyday advocates to build long-term community power.
