Student Survival Guide for Advocacy in Uncertain Times

Free Community Youth Advocacy Event!

This is an event for youth, by youth, co-hosted by League of Education Voters (LEV), Community Center for Education Results (CCER), and a team of youth partners from across the state. Alongside our youth partners, we invite students, parents, leaders, and members of the community to come listen, learn, and participate in the events that students are putting on. Learn from their experiences with school. See what issues they are passionate about. Listen to and honor their hopes for the future. Whether you are a young person yourself or another member of the community, we invite you to join us as we hear from students, families, and community members.   

Featuring Sessions By:

• Eastside Pathways – Hear from a panel of youth as they share their journeys getting started with advocacy.
• Speak With Purpose – Practice speech-writing, public speaking, and sharing your passion with confidence.
• Community Center for Education Results – Learn how youth can participate in the research process as a powerful tool for advocacy.
• The Root of Our Youth – Participate in a training on racial healing circles and the importance of identity.
• Youth-Led Workshops – Explore topics such as testifying in the Washington state legislative session, navigating conflict and intersectionality in advocacy, mental health, and more, led by youth from the Washington Youth Alliance and local high schools.

Throughout the event, we will have interactive tables staffed by partner organizations, as well as a LEV table where students can share what they would like to see happen in the 2025 Washington state legislative session. Also, meet 2025 Washington state Teacher of the Year Kim Broomer!

Lunch will be provided.
