TND Youth Advocacy Program
Beginning in 2021, Do The Write Thing of DC has been operating an afterschool youth advocacy program in which students examine the components of advocacy, how various social ills affect our communities, and prepare for a town hall event to address the issues using the three TEEN New Deal components as solutions. Students at Kelly Miller Middle School and Ballou High School have been participants in the program.
As America’s 250th anniversary is fast approaching (July 4th 2026), DTWT’s Youth Advocacy program is ramping up the pace as we elevate the youth voice to promote the idea of the TEEN New Deal as the perfect gift to commemorate the occasion.
Our TND Youth Advocacy program plans to incorporate more media coverage and increase our weekly social media presence by offering our after-school participants incentives to compete in and complete various challenges. So, stay tuned… you might want to get in on the action!
