            <p>Policy Power in Practice: Youth Advocacy, Strategy, and Impact puts real tools for change in your hands. This course shows how policies are created, who makes decisions, and how young people can shape outcomes in their schools and communities. You will learn the basics of government at the local, state, and federal levels, how the policy cycle works in plain language, and the rights and responsibilities that protect safe civic participation. We will keep your goals, identity, and safety at the center, including guidance on consent, digital citizenship, and respectful dialogue across differences. Support is built in for English learners and for students who are new to U.S. systems, with clear rubrics, examples, and step-by-step practice.</p>

<p>Across the course, you will investigate public problems with both equity and evidence. You will practice finding trustworthy data, spotting bias and misinformation, and turning numbers and stories into clear visuals and messages. You will generate policy options, check what is legally and financially possible, and set measurable outcomes so you can track impact. Then you will build an advocacy toolkit: mapping power and stakeholders, crafting strategic messages, working with media, forming inclusive coalitions, and preparing for meetings and public comments. You will manage a real campaign with SMART goals, timelines, and roles, using safe digital and in-person engagement strategies, conflict resolution skills, and burnout prevention. Quizzes help you check understanding along the way, and a capstone project lets you choose an issue that matters to your community, test your plan, get feedback, and showcase your results. By the end, you will leave with practical experience, documented skills, and a plan to keep your advocacy going.</p>
