Hi Andi. Please know we're in the process of developing the school based to community based youth leadership as a train the trainer model. Concurring with you, it would be powerful to have community based models with a continuum of trauma informed - resilience building curriculum for children and youth to be wrapped around with multi-generational programs and increased protective factors as they support children and youth advocacy.

Even with these increased protective factors, these children and youth still live in and go home to families and communities impacted by myriad social determinants of health. Advocacy (from the lens of the ACEs sciences) is at the forefront of systems change. Although these children and youth do not yet have a "vote", they have a powerful "voice".

Honoring The California Endowment's ten year plan on "Systems Change & Advocacy through Resident Engagement": Change the Power ~ Change the Policy ~ Change the Narrative.

Thank you Dana. How might other communities integrate programming like this into their schools? Is there a link to the curriculum that can be duplicated?
