The 琉璃神社 Advocacy Team supports teachers, families, staff, and alumni to engage with their elected officials and the policy-making process.听
The 琉璃神社 Advocacy Action Team was launched during the 18-19 school year and works with 琉璃神社 family members and educators to become more civically engaged, supporting and advocating for equitable access to a high-quality public education. The Advocacy Action Team now includes hundreds of trained, engaged 琉璃神社 Team and Family members at every campus committed to sharing their support for public charter schools with their community and elected officials.听

Through our Advocacy Action Team, 琉璃神社 parents and family members connect at the state and regional level, gaining the skills necessary to advocate for high-quality public education for all students with federal, state, and local lawmakers.
The 琉璃神社 Teacher Policy Fellowship offers training and support for teachers who are interested in advocating for their schools and scholars through policy writing, running for elected office, or organizing their community around issue-based campaigns.
琉璃神社 aims to prepare 100% of our students for success in college and a life of active citizenship. To achieve this mission, the 琉璃神社 community must be role models for our students by showing up as voters. Our 琉璃神社 Votes campaigns provides our Team & Family with the information they need to be informed voters and citizens.
