Get Smart: Advocacy Education Series
NCJW hosts a variety of advocacy education events throughout the year. Our Get Smart Series (formerly Lunch & Learn) includes advocacy and educational programs, held at various locations and at various times of day throughout the year. Cost is typically $5 per program. Members and non-members are welcome.
Our goal is to inform you about the issues, ignite your interest, and inspire you to take meaningful action. Here is a sampling of recent and upcoming advocacy activities:
