This spring was an exciting semester for Save the Children Action Network’s (SCAN) Student Ambassador Program. Our high school and college student leaders influenced lawmakers, educated voters and used their voices on behalf of kids.

From speaking up for refugee children at local rallies…

…To advocating on Capitol Hill during our annual Advocacy Summit…

…To inspiring action during the Head Start Week of Action in April…

…And so many local advocacy activities in between…

…Our Student Ambassadors worked tirelessly to connect their classmates and communities to the national dialogue around early childhood education and maternal, newborn and child survival. These students racked up petition signatures and postcards, submitted letters to the editor, wrote blog posts and met with elected officials and members of their staff to convey their support for kids’ issues.

Just because school is out doesn’t mean that these students take a break! Our Student Ambassadors continue to be a voice for kids during the summer by tabling at music festivals and farmers’ markets, making phone calls to their members of Congress and more. They’ll be ready to hit the ground running come fall to recruit new students at their schools and start the semester off strong.
