Hey John,
We are just days away from the Youth Activist Network application deadline! Have you submitted yours yet? 👀
If you haven’t, good news: Applications are open until Monday, Monday 1st, 2023! Now is your chance to be a part of our Youth Activist Network — a nationwide network of over 100 youth activists aged 14-24 in a year-long fellowship who receive training, support, and $600 per semester stipends to organize for reproductive rights and justice in their community.
Want to gain year-round support for your activism and build your power as an organizer? Apply here by May 1st!
We now have nine core programs you can choose from. Plus, you will have the resources of Advocates for Youth behind your local activism all year long!
Our activists have used our training and resources to:
- bring gender-neutral housing to their campus
- pass state legislation expanding access to menstrual products
- win access to medication abortion (abortion pills) on their college campus
- urge their campuses to adopt better policies to combat sexual assault
- advocate for better, inclusive sex education in their state and cities
- educate their communities about LGBTQ Muslims
- increase HIV testing and condom availability
- and so much more!
So if you’re a young activist interested in organizing for reproductive rights & justice in your local community, please apply to the Youth Activist Network by May 1st, 2023!
In solidarity,
Kinjo Kiema
Associate Director, Youth Organizing & Mobilization
Advocates for Youth
P.S. - if you're not ages 14-24, can you forward this email (or re-share our IG post) to someone you think would be a good fit? Or to an organization who works with young people? We need everyone to do their part to help us build this incredible group!
Plus, we find that most of the people we accept were told to apply by a trusted adult, mentor or friend. So send this to someone you think is a rising star today. 🌟
