Emerging Leaders Initiative of Utah

The Emerging Leaders Initiative (ELI) of Utah aims to engage young professionals (ages 18-35) in their local, state and national governments. In doing so, ELI aims to elevate the voice and impact of younger generations at every level of government, creating a space in our communities for voices between the ages of 18 and 35 years old to participate in policymaking and related processes. ELI’s aims to engage young voters 18-35 through three pillars of civic engagement: increasing voter turnout, creating more opportunities for substantive civic participation, and helping emerging leaders run for and win elected positions.
