Applications for Rural Arizona Advocates are now open!
Rural Arizona Advocates is a free semester-long program that is open to college-aged students in Coconino County. The curriculum, a combination of Youth Participatory Action Research and real-world experience, provides participants with the necessary tools to support the authentic engagement of young people in decision-making processes that affect their daily lives. Once the program is over, we provide participants with resources to put what they’ve learned to use. We provide participants with resources such as volunteer opportunities and paid positions that help them further develop the skills they’ve learned.
