At the core of Student Advocacy is the basic belief that every child has worth, every child has potential, and every child deserves an excellent education. Student Advocacy’s mission is to provide an effective voice for children who face significant obstacles in school, so they receive the resources they need to succeed educationally and rediscover their lives. We accomplish our mission by: • Providing legally based, educational advocacy services for individuals to improve school opportunities and enhance educational outcomes • Empowering families to become better advocates for their children by offering technical assistance and training • Collaborating with community organizations, parents and school districts in policy advocacy to effect change in the education system
