Having met the crisis of the 2020 pandemic and elections by engaging and training 3,000+ suddenly isolated youth to become civically engaged, the TurnUp remote Training Program is poised once again: We are continuing to provide an experientially based program training young advocates to become civically engaged, responsible, and educated social justice advocates. This time we are galvanized by the ever increasing need to impact the 2022 elections, protect our democratic system and address the burgeoning social justice issues.

Testimonials
"At TurnUp I learned how powerful one voice can really be. Having participated in the Georgia elections by phone/text banking, I've seen how when people come together for a common cause, major changes can result. We are the future and working with TurnUp has given me hope for our generation."
-Yordanose (Denna) Sisay
"This placement has fueled my passion in civic engagement and activism, and serves as a great stepping stone for my future endeavors. I will continue using the app and sharing it as well. Once again, I am very grateful for this experience and want to thank everybody from the TurnUp team one last time!”
-Kate Zheng
"I learned a lot about grassroots activism and what it takes to begin a non-profit. I also had to step out of my comfort zone in some ways through outreach which was a valuable experience. I also gained an understanding of how activism through social media can make a huge impact."
-Emily McDonald
TurnUp fostered an environment in which I could gain confidence in my abilities and rise to meet new challenges. Over the course of my internship, my responsibilities expanded to include innovative projects and more leadership opportunities. Working in such a fast-growing start-up allowed me to try my hand at an array of roles and develop a diverse skill set. I am very grateful for the breadth of experiences this program offered me!
