HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Advocacy is not hard to do: there is no minimum age. You don’t have to have a laptop computer or fabulous writing or speaking skills.

You can rely on your own unique talents and interests to speak out for what you want, what you believe in or what you think needs to be done.

Tip: Choose causes that allow you to use the skills and interests you already have. This will make your first advocacy attempts much more successful.
