The Advocacy Network is a monthly, virtual lunch-and-learn series for young people who want to stay informed, speak up, and help shape New Hampshire’s future — without needing to be a policy expert or professional advocate.

Each month, we dig into a topic that’s top-of-mind for young people across the state — from housing and the arts to workforce issues, community wellbeing, and more. These are the conversations happening right now in New Hampshire, and your perspective matters.

A fresh topic every month that directly affects young people in NH

  • Local subject-matter experts who live and work in the state

  • Casual, accessible conversations — not lectures or debates

  • Time for Q&A and discussion, so your questions and experiences are heard

  • Zero pressure to “network” — just show up, listen, and engage
