Lobby School

Lobby School aims to support participants in taking a 360 approach to movement building by connecting elections and grassroots efforts to policy work. This program is intended to expand the advocacy infrastructure in our state and build power, particularly among Nebraska’s BIPOC and rural communities. Participants receive dedicated training and mentorship to support beginning lobbyists in navigating policy work.

This program is open to Nebraska Table member and partner organizations, as well as others whose mission and vision are in alignment with our network.

Those not already involved with an organization are invited to apply to the Lobby School program as a Policy Fellow. Policy Fellows are placed with one of our nonprofit members to develop a legislative plan. Policy Fellows integrate grassroots strategies, center impacted voices, and engage stakeholders throughout the program with the goal of advancing policy in our state.

We are no longer accepting applications for our 2024-2025 Lobby School Program. Applications for next year's cohort will open in summer 2025.
