Washington State PTA is a member of the Washington Healthy Youth (WHY) Coalition. The following was shared by fellow coalition member Julie Peterson, Senior Director of Policy at Foundation for Healthy Generations.
The Youth Advocacy Guide and Hannah’s Tips, featuring youth advocate extraordinaire Hannah Stewart, are resources aimed at encouraging the youth of Washington to make their voices heard. Created in response to students wanting advocacy training, but faced a lack of available resources teaching them what they need to know, Hannah’s Tips and the Youth Advocacy Guide provide crucial guidance on meeting representatives and testifying before the legislature.
