While we’ll focus on tobacco and social justice, participants will leave the Virtual Advocacy Symposium with an understanding of how to use their voice to change policy on any issue they care about.

Participants will also leave with:

• A deep understanding of this critical moment in youth activism and how young people can continue to lead the fight for social justice and health equity.
• Immediate actions they can take to help keep their peers tobacco-free, promote policies that protect their communities from tobacco, and create the first tobacco-free generation.
• Connections with other young advocates from across the U.S.
• Focused training and experiential learning on using social media as a key advocacy tool, including Instagram and TikTok.

The program is meant for both new and seasoned young advocates.
