About Us

We are a youth-led voluntary advocacy organization dedicated to promoting engagement to build healthier communities.

Our Mission

We are on a mission to actively engage voices to impact their communities by influencing legislation through volunteering, campaigning, lobbying, social media, education, advocacy, and more.

The issue of low levels of community engagement, especially in law and politics, is seen to hurt civic responsibility, reduce community effectiveness, and cause a lack of public trust.

One of the ways we pursue our mission is through lobbying. Right now we are currently drafting bill proposals for the state of California for healthier communities specifically around schools.
