Youth Summit: Our Voice, Our Future - April 18-19
"I feel like it’s easy to feel disconnected from the legislative process as a youth, and being able to directly engage with those who shape the world...it felt like I was able to contribute to a meaningful impact within our community." - 2025 Advocacy Day Youth Participant
Youth have a lot of powerful insight. Are adults listening? At the Youth Summit: Our Voice, Our Future, young leaders come together to take collective action to improve Oregon for every student.
School Health Advocacy Day
School Health Advocacy Day is the only youth-driven advocacy event that supports school-based health services in Oregon. It is an opportunity for youth from across Oregon to come together, attend various educational, skill-building workshops, connect with community organizations, meet legislators, and advocate for the importance of school-based health services in their communities. The next Advocacy Day will be in 2027.
