The 90th Texas Legislative Session begins on January 12, 2027. This session, TNOYS and our partners are uniting for policy changes that recognize youth and young adults’ strengths, invest in their futures, and bolster the critical programs that help them thrive. Stay tuned, as our 2027 Policy Agenda will be released soon.

Join Us at TNOYS’ 2027 Capitol Day for Members
Tuesday, February 9, at the Texas Capitol
Kick off the legislative session with a members-only day to amplify important issues that impact your work and the young people you serve. This event will convene leadership at member organizations as well as TNOYS Professional Members to meet with the legislative offices that represent them. Don’t miss this important opportunity to build momentum for our bill and budget priorities early in the legislative session.
TNOYS will support you in coordinating meetings and prepare your team beforehand. Over lunch, TNOYS will lead our yearly winter member meeting to share strategic updates and opportunities in 2027.
RSVP for TNOYS’ 2027 Day of Action for Youth (DAY)
Thursday, April 8 at the Texas Capitol
Every two years, TNOYS hosts Day of Action for Youth (DAY) at the Texas Capitol. This dynamic event gives youth, young adults, and TNOYS members an opportunity to learn about the legislative process and join together to advocate for policy change directly with legislators so they hear from those most affected by policy decisions.
DAY is open to TNOYS members and youth and young adults who have lived experiences of systems involvement such as homelessness, child welfare involvement, and justice involvement.
Planning to join us at DAY? Please use the form to RSVP.
