For youth who are more experienced in advocacy, check out mentor roles. Mentors will work one on one with advocates to help develop a project that will address an area of impact of the advocate's choosing. They also present webinars that advocates attend, walking them through step by step as they develop a plan. Mentors will draw on their own experience in advocacy and leadership, and "teach" other youth.

1. Advocate Strategist - Specializes in working with advocates and forming connections. Works with other mentors form and maintain relationships with the advocates.

2. Research Specialist - Specializes in research. Works with mentors and advocates to find reliable information that can best help the development of their project.

Advocate Applications

Often times, youth are told they are powerless, unable to make change in their communities. PACA doesn't believe that. That's not what PACA's about. We believe that all youth, no matter how big or small, can turn their passion into change, if given the tools and resources. If you care about the world you live in, but have no idea where to start, apply to be an advocate! As an advocate, you will work with youth experienced in advocacy to start building a project that can make an impact in your community. You will be apart of webinars and activities that will better prepare you for your project and the application process for the YEF Grant to help fund it.
