The first 2020 Advocacy Leadership Institute (ALI) training consists of two weekend retreats focused on training advocates who want to be part of a more walkable, bikable Seattle.

Between sessions, participants are encouraged to attend community meetings, engage with other advocates and safe streets advocacy groups, and apply skills from the training. In addition to attending both training sessions, all participants are expected to complete a small individual or group project which applies skills learned through the training.

2. Training Session #2: Saturday, March 21, 2020 – all day (9 am to 5 pm, location TBD)

3. Graduation Celebration and Project Presentations – date and location TBD, based on participant availability
