One of RantWoman's favorite #NDEAM activities is connecting interested young people with some of her advocacy passions. This post is an invitation to apply for the Young Quaker Voices program!
Shamelessly reprinting the announcement from QuakerVoiceWa.org
Young Quaker Voices Program
This program of Quaker Voice brings young adults into contact with issues in the state legislature. It encourages their active engagement in the legislative process in ways that reflect Quaker values. The model for the program is the Advocacy Corps of the Friends Committee on National Legislation.
Quaker Voice recruits the Voices among young adults ages 16-30 and trains them on the legislative process. Each Voice joins a working group, develops background materials, and tracks legislation on an issue. Quaker Voice provides training for the participants, along with Quaker Voice citizen advocates, on the state legislative process and lobbying visits. The YQVs extend the capacity of the working groups to follow issues but they do not engage in lobbying as part of the program.
The application process for the 2023 legislative session is open now with a deadline of October 30. See this page for expectations and the application form.
