PATCH FOR YOUTH ADVOCATES

This guided multi-step learning series has been integrated into previous iterations of our PATCH Teen Consultant Program to help youth grow as leaders and activists. We're thrilled to share the content and resources with others who work with youth and are passionate about to helping them explore their community's adolescent health needs, choose a topic for individual advocacy (self-chosen or themed based on organization), and begin to identify the people and actions that can help them create positive change.

  • STEP 1: COMPLETING A NEEDS ASSESSMENT
  • STEP 2: CHOOSING AN ISSUE FOR ADVOCACY
  • STEP 3: IDENTIFYING INFLUENCIAL LEADERS
  • STEP 4: HOLDING LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE
  • STEP 5: BUILDING YOUR ADVOCACY PLAN
  • STEP 6: HOSTING A RELATIONAL MEETING
  • STEP 7: SHARING YOUR SUCCESS!
