Advocates for Youth is honored to support your work in influencing legislators and decision makers at the national, state, and local levels, as well as the general public, to make decisions that support adolescent reproductive and sexual health. 

If you have never advocated before, be assured that anyone can be an advocate.  All you have to do is make a persuasive case for your position, whether it be by using skillful persuasion, strategic action, or both.
