Who is SAA for?
The student who has an opinion but isn't always sure how to express it.
The student who likes asking “why?”
The student who wants to lead.
The student who cares about their school or community.
The student who might not think of themselves as an advocate — yet.

SAA is open to high school juniors and seniors and undergraduate students. You don't need previous advocacy experience. You just need to be ready to learn, participate, and bring your perspective to the conversation.

Know that student? Send this to them.
