Youth advocate

Okay kiddo, so you know how there are some people who think that kids and teenagers don't always get the same chances and opportunities as adults? Well, that's where a youth advocate comes in!

A youth advocate is a grown-up who wants to help young people have a voice, be heard, and make sure they get treated fairly. They might work for a group, like a school or a community organization, to help make changes and create programs that benefit young people. They might also work with a single young person, to help them get the support they need to be successful.

Basically, a youth advocate is someone who cares a lot about kids and wants to help them be their best selves!
