Student Advocates

The LeadMN Student Advocate is a paid internship program that focuses on leadership development, skills in advocacy and organizing, as well as building tools to push past the barriers to drive community-wide change. Student advocates act as a voice for their region from regional issues affecting students to organizing training opportunities and meetings.

Student Advocates represent one of the nine regions among the Minnesota State 2-year college system. They are a point of contact between students in the region and LeadMN.
