Learn to Lead.
Empowering free market and limited government advocates
Americans for Prosperity Foundation’s Grassroots Leadership Academy is a state-of-the-art training institute for concerned citizens who want to make a difference at the federal, state, and local level. Our education programs will build the leadership skills you need to fight for economic freedom, preserve individual liberties, keep elected officials accountable, and defend against the progressive policies and false narratives of the left. You’ll learn the basics of:
- The benefits of a free society
- How the left operates
- Social media best practices
- Working with legislators
- Mobilizing fellow supporters
In addition to our certification programs, the Grassroots Leadership Academy offers a series of Insight to Action forums designed to help you get acquainted with our curricula and get others involved in our movement in a more accessible way. We offer dozens of meaningful and thought-provoking presentations.
