Each spring, we hold a Wilderness Advocacy Leadership Training Session (WALTS) for members who want to become a Broadband leader. This event is comprised of powerful leadership training sessions that are hands-on, experiential, educational, and FUN! Our leaders are trained in essential skills to build and motivate Broadbands to use effective and meaningful democratic action to protect the wild places we love most. Topics include:

How to take a stand on ecological issues
How to interact and advocate for healthy public lands with elected officials and land management agencies
Grassroots organizing techniques
Leadership, communication, and lobbying skills
Wilderness and public lands history
Broads’ positions on issues such as grazing, off-road vehicles, and oil, gas, and mineral development

We train up to 20 new leaders over three full days and four evenings. We offer this training, including meals and lodging, at no charge!

Become a member of Broads today to participate in this incredible leadership training!
