Amplify Your Voice

Were you inspired by the keynote on “Centering the Voices and Leadership of Young People” by Dr. Ayva Thomas? Remember: 

  • You are worthy, and you are enough just as you are. 
  • Your voice is powerful, and you always have the right to speak your truth.  
  • You have the right to advocate for change now, even as a student and young person. 

Take Action!

Research - Look up historical or current examples of youth organizing groups. Think about what you can learn from them. 

Start or join a student club - Celebrate and learn more about your identities, build connections with peers, and talk about changes you'd like to see in your school. Identify a trusted adult at school to help you start. 

Speak up - If someone ever makes you feel bad about who you are, what you look like, or where you come from, tell a trusted adult. When you speak up for yourself, you are also speaking up for your peers and making a difference. 

Advocate for yourself at school - Tell your teacher about something you want to learn. Ask your librarian for book ideas about a topic you're interested in. Tell your principal about a change you'd like to see at school.
