GunSense NH, a project of Granite State Progress, is launching its Winter/Spring 2023 Youth Advisory Board. Open to youth ages 13-23, YAB members have the opportunity to learn more about gun violence prevention and gain skills to engage in legislative advocacy, media work, and public education around common sense public safety laws to save lives. Working together, YAB members have a hands-on opportunity to organize a community or statewide action.
Interested youth ages 13-23 years old should complete and submit this application. Initial deadline is February 13th, applications accepted on a rolling basis as space available post-date. If you have questions regarding the program or this application, please reach out to the program advisors: Jonathan Weinberg jonathan@granitestateprogress.org or Judith Kurtz, judith@granitestateprogress.org.
This is a free youth leadership program and cohort, and support is available for students who need help with transportation to attend in-person GunSense NH Youth Advisory Board events.
