LEO Jan. Cohort

Listening, Education, Organizing (LEO) program was held in Lewiston where we had 15 people from across Lewiston-Auburn participate in the three day training focusing on civic engagement, grassroots participation, focus groups and relationship building. This cohort was sponsored by Maine People’s Alliance! This cohort top issues were more equity and system change in schools, youth support/mentoring and concerns of violence and crime due to various issues happening in the city. For the next several months, COA and this cohort will find ways to take action and support one another addressing these issues.
