John,
I'm proud to announce ... 🥁🥁🥁 ... we are now accepting applications here to join our cohort of youth activists for the 2020-2021 school year!
We cannot let people in power use this pandemic as an excuse to kick young people to the curb, denying them their rights to sexual and reproductive health. The only thing that's ever stopped that is young people leading the way for change!
Gain year-round support for your activism, and build your power as an organizer by applying here.
Join our Youth Activist Network to be one of 120 youth activists aged 14-24 who receive training, support, and stipends to organize for reproductive justice in your community! Those accepted will receive in-depth training at our virtual Youth Activist Institute in September, and be flown to Washington, DC in January for a life-changing experience networking with youth activists and building organizing skills.
Plus, you will have the resources of Advocates for Youth behind your local activism all year long!
Do any of the following campaigns sound exciting to you?
- End shame and stigma around abortion
- Support survivors of sexual assault to lead the fight to end gender-based violence in their schools
- Provide safe and supportive environments for LGBTQ people of color
- Combat racism, anti-Muslim hate, homophobia and transphobia
- Increase HIV testing and condom availability
- Fight for comprehensive sex ed in your state and school district, and mobilize your peers around international family planning issues
Then click here to learn more about our programs and apply today.
In solidarity,
Kinjo Kiema
Associate Director, Youth Organizing & Mobilization

P.S. - if you're not ages 14-24, can you forward this email 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 actually 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.
