CWA’s Next Generation Committee will be hosting a Next Generation Young Activists
Forum May 17– 19, 2023 in Cleveland, Ohio.
During the Forum, 50 young CWA members will connect with each other and with
mentors who will help them take their activism to the next level.
The Forum’s guest speakers and interactive workshops will inspire them with powerful,
real world examples of collective action that works. Back home they’ll put their new
skills to work by either forming new Next Gen committees or joining existing committees
in their Locals and recruiting fellow young members to support priority campaigns—all
with help from our Next Gen Lead Activists.
Please identify CWA members aged 35 and younger who are eager to get active in our
union and who value training, networking, and ongoing mentorship. Interested
members may apply by completing the application form and submitting it no later than
March 17, 2023.
CWA Next Gen funds will cover each participant’s hotel, meals during the Forum, and
lost time for the three days. For each applicant selected to attend, their Local will be
asked to fund transportation to and from the Forum and any incidental costs approved
in advance by their Local. Attached is an Information Sheet for Local officers. Members
aged 35 and younger with approval from their Local president may apply using the form
at https://action.cwa.org/events/cwangaf2023
