We are pleased to introduce the Maryland Student Coalition, a student-led education advocacy group dedicated to delivering effective and equitable education legislation on the state and local level.
To carry out our mission, we will work in three collective areas:
1. Public Service Opportunities
Testimonials: On matters relating to education affairs, we will provide every member of the coalition opportunities to submit written testimony. From the coasts of Wicomico to the mountains of Alleghany, the MSC is committed to providing diverse and unique perspectives representing the opinions of students all across Maryland.
Publications: Voicing student opinion on public policy through oped writings and other press communications is an imperative source for student voice to be recognized. Initiatives led by members of the Maryland Student Coalition have garnered coverage from the Baltimore Sun, Maryland Matters, and well-known local blogs.
Organizations: The MSC will seek out other non-profit organizations and student-led advocacy groups to incubate ideas. We will also welcome such groups to reach out to us with ideas they have or wish to be a part of when it comes to our own work.
Connections: Local leaders such as school board members and county/city councilmen can be insightful resources for hearing constructive criticism. We will collaborate with these officials to improve our messaging and prepare positions on issues. We would be gracious to earn their pledged support.
Students who desire to be active stakeholders in the coalition will be provided opportunities to draft legislative proposals and briefs. These writings will then be provided to members of the Maryland General Assembly in hopes they feel the issue is urgent enough to be formally drafted as legislation
We welcome your voice as we advocate for the students of Maryland.
