People's Review LIVE! Civic Engagement in Diverse Communities in Wyoming
Join us for ESPC's People's Review LIVE event on Thursday, September 28 at 5 pm, hosted online! We're diving into a crucial discussion about Civic Engagement in Diverse Communities in Wyoming.
RUN Wyoming
A candidate & campaign staff training program designed to teach Wyomingites the skills necessary to run a successful campaign.
It doesn't matter if you’re considering a run for school board, city council, state legislature, or just wanting to learn more about campaigning, ESPC wants to provide all Wyomingites the opportunity to learn from experienced leaders so together we can prepare the next generation of leaders through non-partisan candidate training.
Women, young people, people of color, and LGBTQ Wyomingites are highly encouraged to apply for RUN WY.
