A partnership between Latinas Represent and re:power, the Elected Academy is a learning space designed to amplify leadership abilities while building connections and continued growth. 

Over 9 weeks, we will focus heavily on heartwork—an intentional focus on the personal development of women of color mentally and emotionally—addressing participants' holistic needs to step into their authentic, liberated leadership. The curriculum will bring in modules specifically tailored for currently-serving Latina local and state elected officials. Topics we'll cover include power mapping, relational organizing, coalition building, and preventing burnout. 

The curriculum moves participants towards a new vision for community-oriented leadership, supporting those historically excluded from legislatures so that they can collectively build, hold, and exercise governing power. 

Following the 9-week program, participants will have access to a team of women of color coaches who will provide up to 30 hours of virtual support. 

Course Expectations

• This is a dynamic cohort experience, and if you are applying, you should prepare to be fully present and engaged throughout. 

• We will meet virtually once a week for nine sessions. For the virtual sessions, we ask that participants actively engage by using the chat function, coming off mute to share verbally, and participating in breakout group discussions. 

• If you are able, we strongly encourage participants to turn on video during virtual sessions.
