We are looking for students - both in the College of Education and from other colleges and schools at NCSU - who have an interest in contributing to the community, the university, and the lives of youth. SAY Village is committed to providing future advocates and educators with the resources, skills, and support to become successful youth ad What is Youth Advocacy? Youth Advocacy involves educating advocates about the educational, social, political, multi-cultural, and technological aspects that impact the lives of children both locally and globally. Advocates make improvements in these areas with deep concern for social justice. Why Become an Advocate? Our children’s health, safety, education, and security are deteriorating at an alarming rate. Youth advocates take an informed stand as activists by not only caring about problems but also addressing them with energy and intelligence. Unique Community Features in Syme Hall
