Growing organizing power and leaders
Youth Centered Leadership Development
Rogue Action Center staff work across our programs to develop leaders who are ready to organize, center joy and build community. We train and support rural and youth leaders to organize within their communities for a stronger inter-generational movement for our collective liberation.
Community Organizing Internship Program
In Partnership with Rogue Climate, RAC co-hosts bi-annual internship programs for youth to become empowered to take action within their communities.
We support youth leaders (ages 14-30) to strengthen their organizing skills with environmental and social justice frameworks. Interns get hands-on experience and develop skills by doing the work throughout the 9-week cohorts.
