Latinas Organizing for Leadership and Advocacy (e-LOLA) Training
Our e-LOLA is an initiative at the NLIRH designed to accommodate to the lives of busy young women by allowing them access to the materials presented at the traditional, rigorous two and a half day LOLA trainings.
Our next e-LOLA training will take place online on May 22nd, 23rd and 24th, via hour-long webinar sessions. This webinar training will provide Latina activists, ages 18-30, with sessions on: the history of the reproductive rights movement, community organizing models and specific skills building tools to prepare participants with the knowledge and resources for taking action on reproductive justice issues.
After the training, e-LOLA graduates will receive:
- Certificate of completion
- An NLIRH t-shirt, button and pen
- Our signature LOLA curriculum
Graduates will also continue to be part of NLIRH’s larger network of Latina advocates through our Alumni Network, with priority access to cafecitos, future trainings and invitations to regional NLIRH events.
