Advocacy isn’t just about big speeches or national movements — it starts with showing up. Whether it’s standing up for a peer, organizing a service project, or speaking out about mental health, student voice has the power to create real change. Today, we’re exploring how service and advocacy connect to teen mental health — and how small actions can create meaningful impact in schools and communities.
In this episode, we're joined by a special guest from the National Association of Secondary School Principals who sponsor National Student Council and National Honor Society, Jen Silva, to talk about Showing Up & Speaking Out: The Power of Student Advocacy.
