Why did you apply to become a League Leader?

I applied to become a League Leader to expand my knowledge of education policy and leadership capabilities when it
relates to non-profit work especially.

What education policy or justice issue do you care about most and why?

Resource Equity – I care about this issue especially because of how it disproportionately affects people of color
negatively. All students regardless of race and socioeconomical status deserve access to a QUALITY education.

Why should students join the EmpowerED Network?

It will give students the opportunity to be a part of something much greater that will lead the charge in education here
in Tennessee.
