NextGen Youth Advocates™ is holding weekly programs in which youth of the community come as they are, get assistance with homework, and participate in pro social activities. From English and Math tutoring, to our ‘Advocacy Mondays’, we foster a safe environment where kids learn to work hard and play hard. We bring youth the tools to succeed and reward them for investing in their schoolwork, community, and health.
Our students range from 3rd grade to 11th (Junior year of High School). Servicing students from Bahia Vista Elementary, Miller Creek Middle School, Davidson Middle School, Novato High School and San Rafael High School. We are actively growing and expanding our reach throughout Marin County to give students the opportunity to learn how to advocate for issues that are important to them and impact their community.
Our skilled and tech savvy youth engage in an educational experience where content creation and online engagement is at the forefront! Youth are given education, workshops and skills to ultimately create their own social media messaging to counter alcohol, tobacco and marijuana advertising towards youth!
These programs provide youth with valuable tools in advocacy by supporting and fostering personal growth, empowerment, and a strong sense of civic responsibility in their community.
Speech Day gives youth the opportunity to express their thoughts, ideas, and opinions through public speaking practices. The primary goal is to encourage youth to develop their communication, leadership, and critical thinking skills while advocating for substance use prevention. The program highlights the importance of effective speech delivery, self-confidence, and advocacy in your local community.
Our Youth Community Clean-Up Program gives youth an opportunity to actively participate in cleaning up their local environment. This program focuses on improving San Rafael spaces such as parks, streets and local retailers by removing trash, recycling materials, and raising awareness about environmental prevention.
