Young Adult Advocacy Guide
This curriculum is meant to introduce participants – whether in a group or individually – to the topic of advocacy. Young people will spend some time thinking about what advocacy means, how it can take shape in their own lives, how it fits into a life of faith and ways in which they can get involved in advocacy in the world around them. We pray that you will grow as your discern how to respond to God’s call to walk alongside the world’s people and restore the Shalom God intends for all people and creation.

With a little guidance and encouragement from their adult leaders, young people can use their extra time and their access to the internet to learn about the obstacles and injustices that other people face in their town, across the country, and around the world. Here are some ideas for getting your youth to take a more avid interest in advocacy.
