Primero de Mayo Workers’ Center

Enduring positive change in Minnesota

The Labor Leadership Program is designed to empower community members by honing their skills and cultivating new ones, equipping them to become leaders in their communities.

Through a series of meetings and hands-on experiences, participants are empowered with the tools and knowledge necessary to know their labor rights and be equipped to report instances of labor violations. By fostering a culture of empowerment and skill-building, the Labor Leadership Program is a cornerstone of COPAL’s mission to create enduring positive change in Minnesota.
