Beginning in January 2025, we welcomed both new and returning members into Power U’s Orientation Phase. This year, we continued expanding beyond students to include parents, teachers, and community residents, strengthening our intergenerational membership base.
We also introduced a new Membership Tier structure, ensuring a clear pathway for deeper engagement. To become Member Leaders—an essential step for those seeking elected positions—members were required to attend at least 80% of Orientation. Throughout this phase, members took part in activities and exercises that introduced core Power U topics: Making a Commitment, Research, How-to 1:1’s, Scriptmaking and Outreach, Story of Self, Racial Capitalism, and more.
On March 1st, we hosted our Annual Member Leader Signing Day 2025 at Charles Hadley Park in Allapattah. It was an afternoon filled with celebration, community, and powerful storytelling. Members, families, and neighbors came together to reflect on the challenges facing everyday working-class people and, more importantly, the collective actions we’re taking to create change.
We know that building a better future starts with leadership, and stronger leaders make stronger communities. On this special day, we honored members who are stepping up and deepening their commitment by becoming Member Leaders. Their journey toward building sustainable communities and collective power through social justice reached a pivotal milestone, marked by heartfelt testimonials on how Power U has shaped their lives and what inspired them to say yes to Power U.
