Advocacy Materials

2009 Fact Sheets

We developed the following educational materials to enhance our advocacy efforts and assist you in yours.  If there is a particular issue area on which a fact sheet would be useful to you, and you do not see one here, please let us know.  -- Fact sheets for 2011 are coming soon!

Internet Resources

We have have compiled a list of resources to assist you in your state and national level advocacy efforts. Resources include sites with data on children and youth, information on the legislative process and up-to-date research on youth issues.  For a list resources click here.

Advocacy Guides

We have also put together a "TNOYS Membership Advocacy Guide" that includes tips and tools for legislative advocacy and lobbying.  The guide is for our members only, and it is specifically designed for those who work in the youth services field.  If you are a member and you would like your free copy, please let us know.

In addition, we have also created a "We Want Change" advocacy and activism guide for youth, and it is available through our Youth in Action program.
