The Rally for Youth Day at the Capitol event is brought to you by the Youth Policy Alliance (YPA); to learn more about the YPA and the Rally for Youth Day event, see the included Frequently Asked Questions sheet. Join us on March 3rd, 2011 as we seek to educate our policy leaders about the need for a comprehensive youth system of services.
If your organization houses a program that provides services for youth in any of the following areas, please consider working with the YPA to arrange meetings with your legislators:
Homelessness Prevention
Mentoring
Out-of-School Time
Youth Intervention
Workforce Development
Juvenile Justice
This day-long event will be organized in a way that will help youth familiarize themselves with the Capitol, the legislature, and communicating openly and honestly with legislators about issues involving them. Youth services do not exist or work in an exclusive, solitary environment to meet the needs of young people. We must engage communities and enact policies, which promote a comprehensive approach to youth policy ensuring that all young adults are ready for life.
If your organization wishes to participate in the full day’s activities, please complete the application below and return by January 21st, 2011. If you have questions or need more information, please contact Lindsey Carlson at lindsey.carlson08@gmail.com.
