AFP-VA Grassroots Academy Political Influencer Bootcamp
Learn how to make lawmakers listen! Join the AFP Academy Political Influencer Bootcamp Certification, a free program that prepares you to engage lawmakers, testify on key issues, and influence the policies that shape our communities.
You’ll gain hands-on skills in: vision for social change, storytelling, lawmaker engagement, influencing the policy landscape, and practical application through a Capstone Project tied to our state priorities including energy, education, economics, public safety, housing, and healthcare.
You’ll learn how to:
Session 1 Our Vision for Social Change
Connect your “why” to America’s founding principles of equal rights, openness, mutual benefit, and bottom-up empowerment. Learn how AFP advances these timeless ideas today.
Session 2 Inspiring Action Through Storytelling
Share your story in a way that inspires others to take action, just as leaders throughout history did to move people to act. Use the Human Action Model to share your “why” and connect others to the cause of liberty.
Session 3 Impacting Your Lawmaker
Build persuasive relationships with lawmakers and influence elected leaders as they make lasting policy change.
Session 4 Impacting the Landscape
Apply the Identify Educate Mobilize (IEM) model to organize citizens and influence policy outcomes.
