Executive Youth Leadership Summit

EYLS Advocacy

The key focus of the Executive Youth Leadership & Policy summit is to educate and inform youth and parents about policies and legislation before the US Congress in the following areas: Re-authorization ESEA, Juvenile Justice Reform, College Access and Workforce Readiness. 

Action: Youth & Parents will send correspondence to their Member of Congress outlining the impact on their school, home and/or community. 

We share the Children Defense Fund priorities to ensure the future of every child, through sound legislation and policies. 

  • Provide high quality early childhood care and development programs for all children;
  • Ensure every child can read at grade level by fourth grade and guarantee quality education through high school graduation; and
  • Stop the criminalization of children at increasingly younger ages and invest in prevention and early intervention.
