Advocacy Hub
There are always multiple ways to get involved with advocacy! Understanding how the education system works is key in implementing change. Education policy is shaped by the school district with funding provided by the local, state, and federal levels of government. Within each level of government are specific topics that you can help advocate for. Check out the links below to learn more about how you can use your voice today!
