This holiday season, we’re thankful for all of your support. We're also thankful for our youth. However when it comes to youth voice and making space for young people to not only be heard, but for their stories and experiences to directly inform policy, we know that there always more work to be done.
And so we wanted to share two videos that we thought did a great job of putting youth front and center, allowing them to be and express themselves, while also giving you a couple of tunes to dance your way into the holiday.
The first was made in observance of International Day of the Girl:
And this second one was done for World Children's Day:
So as we work to raise up the voices of our young people here in communities all over the District, and give each young person the services they need to survive as well as the opportunities they deserve to thrive, it means so much knowing you’re right there beside us, helping to move our cause forward.
And if you can help as part of next week's Global Day of Giving, please bookmark our Giving Tuesday page here: bit.ly/dcayagivingtuesday2017, and set a reminder on your calendar for November 28.
Also, if you're free Wednesday, December 6, please join us at Local 16 from 6:30 to 8:30 for a casual DCAYA Holiday Gathering. RSVP here if you can make it.
In the meantime, have fun and safe travels the rest of this week and over the weekend. And Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at DC Alliance of Youth Advocates!
