SEARAC Digital Advocacy Training 2022

The Digital Advocacy Training (DAT) is a four-day training program that will take place virtually from July 11th to July 14th. Participants will commit approximately 4-5 hours per day alongside a cohort of other emerging Southeast Asian American (SEAA) advocates to learn about core federal policies that impact the SEAA community and build valuable advocacy skills. 

Our ideal DAT candidate is:

• A beginner in federal advocacy (i.e., political engagement with the US Senate and/or House of Representatives),

• Interested in learning about federal policies that affect the SEAA community,

• Highly motivated to advocate for the SEAA community, and

• At least 18 years old.

DAT has no advocacy, workplace, or educational requirements.

This year, our application asks for either a short (approximately 500 words or less) written essay or a short (approximately 5 minutes or less) video essay. No format will be weighed more or less than the other; we simply ask that you provide a clear vision of why you are applying to DAT.

Applications are due May 15, 2022. Click here for more information.
