Youth Advocacy Day 2026 was a success!

Thank you to the students who joined us in Olympia on Monday, January 19. Together, we met with 10 state representatives and advocated on several key issues related to youth substance use prevention. Students shared their voices, experiences, and ideas, helping elevate youth perspectives in real policy conversations.
