Welcome back to BBB Sharing. Today, we sit down with Larry Roberts, Director of the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership, to explore how intentional conversation and ethical engagement are used to develop future leaders across Virginia.

From high school leadership initiatives to candidate training programs, Sorensen’s four core offerings are designed to prepare Virginians to lead with integrity, empathy, and clarity. Tune in to hear how these initiatives are shaping a new generation of changemakers.
