Local Organization Hopes New Program Inspires Young People To Enter Politics
Tulsa Young Professionals executive director Andrea Pemberton said the current political climate makes it more important for young leaders to be ready for the future, but she fears the deep division within our country could convince some to stay out of politics. It s challenging to watch our nation go through this, Pemberton said. But I hope that young professionals really take the call to action to be the change that they want to see.
Organizers at TYPROS, Tulsa’s Young Professionals, have created a four-month program called 918 Leads.
The program will offer participants the opportunity to be mentored by past and current elected officials. The elected leaders will teach participants how to run a political campaign and bring them along a day in the life of an elected official.
