Take Action

Shaping the Future of Public Schools 

The League's Advocacy Network is the group and process through which we activate and engage our public charter school families, parents, students, and staff for the common good. This action-oriented network strives to build knowledge, skills, and power to strengthen and support charter schools throughout the state.

Our advocacy efforts focus on state policies and district initiatives that ensure all Colorado children have access to high-quality public school options, including charter schools. Build your charter school knowledge and advocacy skills while participating in a powerful, influential statewide community that intercedes on behalf of our schools and, more importantly, our students. We’ll give you everything you need to make taking action for charters quick and easy!

Attend or Host a Training

We regularly offer free training to help interested individuals develop the knowledge and skills required to be effective advocates in their communities and beyond. Topics include: Charter School Basics, Effective Advocacy Methods, How Elections Impact Schools, and more! Training opportunities are shared through the Advocacy newsletter. We can also offer tailored options for your community — either in-person or virtually. Reach out to learn more. 

Spread the Word

Help us grow the Advocacy Network! This one-pager has everything you need to share our Advocacy Network with others in your community, including a newsletter blurb, a social media post, and a QR code.  

Get Started Today

1. Join the Advocacy Network

The easiest way to get started is by joining our Advocacy Network email list. By doing so, you join a select cohort of charter school staff, students, families, and supporters who use their voice to advocate for choice. Once a month from August through May, we’ll send a brief newsletter with updates on advocacy, training, and events. Available in both English and Spanish. Join now.

2. Share your charter school story.

Charter schools and students are doing extraordinary things every day! Whether you're a parent, teacher, staff, alumni, or community member, your unique story on the importance of charter schools can help us change the narrative. Your story matters. 

3. Contact your policymaker.

Educating our legislators at the Capitol takes time and effort. While we work hard behind the scenes under the golden dome, policymakers must also hear the personal accounts of and support for charters. Find your legislator.
