Elizabeth A. '26 Selected as Missouri’s YMCA Youth Advocate
Visitation Academy junior Elizabeth A. has been chosen for the prestigious YMCA Youth Advocate Program and will represent the state of Missouri at Youth Advocacy Days in Washington, D.C., from March 2-5. She is the only student from Missouri selected for this opportunity.
The Youth Advocate Program trains high school students in advocacy, leadership, and policymaking, allowing them to engage directly with members of Congress on issues important to the YMCA and their communities. As part of the program, Elizabeth will participate in advocacy training, collaborate with fellow youth leaders from across the country, and meet with lawmakers to champion YMCA priorities.
Congratulations, Elizabeth, on this incredible achievement! Visitation Academy is proud to have you representing Missouri on a national stage.
