Advocacy

Awareness Day Kick off event at the capitol on Feb. 1, 2010 

Over 100 youth advocates gathered at the Capitol on February 1 for the kick off day for SBHC Awareness Month.

This army of youth advocates were introduced to our legislative process. They met the Governor's Chief Health Care Policy Advisor, The Speaker of the House and the Senate President.

They received training and practiced delivering concise yet compelling anecdotes.

Through their combined efforts they ensured that every legislator's office received a visit. They also succeeded in meeting with at least 20 legislators in small groups.
