School boards play a major role in shaping our education system. Get on Board is an intensive leadership development program designed to support individuals as they consider running for school board.

Education leaders and community members have the opportunity to support a platform of crucial improvements to the education system.

A lack of reflective leadership in politics can pose barriers to changes that communities want to see in their schools.

Get on Board is designed to support a student centered agenda, and train everyday advocates to build long-term community power.
