The Transformative Justice Coalition is hosting a non-partisan interactive Gen Z and Young Millennial Votes Matter Training Event to be held September 11– September 14, 2024. This is a round-trip, all expenses paid training opportunity being held in Washington, D.C. This training opportunity includes a $500 stipend for participants, and is based on attendance and completion of a work plan. The deadline to apply is August 23, 2024, and proof of full vaccination or exemption is required.

This opportunity is for individuals 18-35 years of age. We are accepting applicants from all states. Our target states are:

  • Delaware
  • Maryland
  • Pennsylvania
  • Virginia
  • Washington, D.C.
Those selected will serve as Voting Rights Ambassadors to directly serve vulnerable communities and voters to enhance their abilities to participate in future elections. The training uses a proven and successful “Train the Trainer” Voting Rights Immersion model that teaches the fundamentals of voting rights and develops essential skills of a voting rights advocate. The training includes a community engagement event to give a hands-on element to the overall learning experience.
From 2016-2024, TJC has trained more than 500 Gen Z and Millennials from twenty-eight states. TJC Fellows have gone on to do amazing advocacy work post training. Several of our TJC Fellows are advocates for the formerly incarcerated and have held voter registration drives exclusively for this population. We have TJC Fellows who are focusing their efforts on civic education and are contracting with school districts to educate elementary and high school students on civics and the importance of voting.

Upon completing our training, you become a member of the TJC family. Alumni are offered the opportunity to serve as Social Media Ambassadors, allowing them to increase their networking and marketing skills. Alumni may be called upon to do future activations. On a regular basis, TJC Alumni are invited as guests on the Igniting Change Radio Show. This opportunity aids them in improving their public speaking as well as promoting their activism and organizations.

Are you ready to make a difference?
