Big wins this year:

  • Hosted statewide leadership events and trained nearly 500 students at Next Generation Leadership Day
  • Met with state and national lawmakers to advocate for youth-focused legislation
  • Held general assemblies at five high schools, attended by 300–400 students each
  • Trained students in public speaking, testimony writing, and policy engagement
