Social Justice Advocacy
Connecting members to meaningful advocacy efforts at the local, state, and national level.
Advocacy at the Core of Who We Are.
Youth In Macro connects members to meaningful advocacy efforts at the local, state, and national level — from coalition building and petition campaigns to policy convenings and grassroots movements.
We believe advocacy is a skill that can be taught and a right that should not be gatekept. Through this program, members gain hands-on experience showing up in rooms where decisions are made, building relationships with community leaders, and translating lived experience into policy action.
Taking our advocacy to the room — presenting social justice issues at a young civic leaders convening.
Community voice into policy action — conducting qualitative research with underserved residents as part of a collaborative urban advocacy project.
Networking with fellow advocates and grassroots leaders through the Vital Voices fellowship network.
