Empowering Youth: Coalition Building, Event Planning, and Advocacy

Youth organizing is a powerful force in community work, igniting the potential of young people to transform their neighborhoods and beyond. When youth come together, they bring fresh energy, innovative ideas, and a unique perspective that can spark real change. Through organizing, they not only develop critical leadership and advocacy skills but also cultivate a deep sense of ownership and pride in their communities. This engagement empowers them to tackle pressing local issues, drive social progress, and create vibrant, inclusive spaces for everyone. Join us for an engaging and informative webinar highlighting the power of youth coalitions; the intricacies of planning and executing youth-led events; and the impactful role of youth advocacy in influencing policy change.

Topics discussed will include:

• The critical role youth coalitions play in addressing social issues and effecting change.
• Best practices for organizing impactful youth-led events.
• Effective advocacy techniques and strategies for engaging with local government officials and community leaders.

This webinar is intended for youth organizers and public health professionals working to create more equitable communities where everyone can thrive.

Presenters: Jennifer Lagunas Garcia, Youth Coordinator, San Diego County; Gabriel Hill, Program Manager, Los Angeles County; Venture Griswold, Prevention Specialist, Los Angeles County.
