The nonprofit organization New American Leaders will host its “Ready to Lead” workshop at the Arab American Museum in Dearborn Friday through Sunday.

The program assists first- and second-generation Americans who are interested in running for local or national office, according to a news release.

Workshop attendees will learn the ins and outs of campaigning: fundraising, speech writing, and handling hostile environments. 

The event will feature speakers from the organization, as well as State Senator Erika Geiss; Ghida Dagher, director of appointments for the office of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; and State Representatives Darrin Camilleri, Padma Kuppa, Alex Garza and Yousef Rabhi.
