POV: You're judging holiday cookies from your couch and somehow end up having a conversation you didn't know you needed.
That's the vibe for our November MeetUp: Thriving Through the Holidays!

Hang out with Eric, Kaitlyn, and other young people who get it. We'll laugh, talk about the real stuff that comes with the holidays, and vote on who wins the cookie decorating showdown!

November 17 | 3 PM CT
For young people ages 14–24 with foster care experience.
RSVP in the FosterClub App!

Kenny Kabayiza, True Up Advocacy Fellow from Lexington, highlights how young people can be engaged in advocacy and elections.

Children and young people are speaking up about the future they want. Their ideas and needs belong at the center of informed, nonpartisan advocacy. YOU can ensure young people are engaged this election season by encouraging them to:

✔️ Learn the issues that they're passionate about
✔️ Find candidates that they can relate to, that they can see themselves in
✔️ Know how to register to vote and where to vote, if over 18 years old

We must keep the needs of children front and center this election season! Kids cannot vote, but you can ensure that their voices are heard by asking important questions to candidates in local, state, and federal elections.

When adults bring children’s needs into civic conversations, communities can make more informed decisions for every family.

Check out Kentucky Youth Advocates' NEW Electoral Advocacy Toolkit to find a list of data-driven questions focused on improving child well-being in Kentucky to utilize as you prepare your organization, community group, or self to engage with candidates: https://kyyouth.org/advocacy/
