Once our youth have mastered their self-advocacy skills as individuals, they work as a team to develop and implement issue campaigns that allow them to improve the lives of their peers (through education, training, and mobilization) and work with policy makers to develop and implement system-level solutions. As a team, youth staff conduct needs assessments, choose campaign issues and strategies, set objectives, conduct research, recruit members, educate policy makers, and work with leaders to advance a bold advocacy agenda based on the real-life issues. During this stage, youth receive Advanced Leadership Training including four 15-20 hour modules with each teen staff specializing in one or two: 1) Training of trainers; 2) Policy and advocacy; 3) Organizing and membership building; and 4) Communications and Social Media.
