In the California Children’s Trust’s and the California Coalition for Youth’s Youth Advisory Boards, we, the members of the board, fight to raise the voices of our peers on a statewide platform by guiding adults on youth topics.

I am also working with Good for Media by helping promote the California Age-Appropriation Design Code Act.
