PATCH Youth Advocacy Fellowship
PROVIDING YOUNG PEOPLE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND SUPPORT TO BE DRIVERS OF CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNITY.
The PATCH Advocacy Fellowship is an opportunity for Wisconsin youth, ages 13-19, to grow as leaders and activists. It strives to bring youth voice to the forefront of adolescent health conversations, while also empowering young people with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to thrive into adulthood.
The Youth Advocacy Fellowship is a 9-month program. Committing to this time is essential for building meaningful relationships, youth-adult partnerships, and completing a community advocacy project. Youth Advocates participate in a training at the beginning of the program and continue their learning through bi-monthly group meetings (held virtually) and individual learning modules (completed independently). All Youth Advocates are PAID for their work with PATCH!
