Program Description

The program equips high school students (grades 9-12) with the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience needed to become future leaders and policymakers.  Through immersive learning, students gain the tools to advocate for meaningful change in their schools and communities.

This program empowers young people with essential leadership and advocacy skills, deepens their understanding of the political process, and prepares them to be the next generation of leaders and changemakers.

​

Each year, approx. 24-30 nominees are selected to serve as State Youth Ambassadors.  Participants work alongside school officials to identify barriers to student success.  They conduct research, develop strategic plans to address these issues, and present their findings to local and state government officials.
