Description
The TECA Advocacy Academy aims to bridge the gap between the community and education policies that impact educators of color. Programming includes a deep dive into education policy at the state level, templates and tools participants can use to contact their legislators, and the opportunity to be in the community with local and state policymakers. Participation in the Advocacy Academy will lead to new education champions across the state who actively participate in the policy process.
Program Successes
Self efficacy. Participants are able to cite that they are more informed about education policy and advocacy than they were before the program. We've had over 100 participants in the program over the last two years.

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| As a nascent organization, many of the programs that we are developing will launch this year. Currently, with only a working board, this has limited our capacity to initiate some programming. It is our hope that we are able to secure support that allows our organization to be sustainable. |
