High Schoolers Guide to Advocacy is a powerful and practical handbook for young changemakers ready to turn frustration into action. Written by teen activist Carys Gill, this guide traces her journey from attending her first protest to launching a social justice club, testifying before the school board, and lobbying members of Congress on legislation to prevent gun violence.

Carys doesn't just tell her story, she shows students how to find their voice, organize their peers, and advocate effectively at the local, state, and federal levels. Through real-life examples and step-by-step strategies, readers will learn how to:

• Build a movement in their schools and communities

• Engage with lawmakers and track legislation

• Write persuasive testimony and deliver it with confidence

• Lead campaigns that inspire change and persist

Whether you’re passionate about gun safety, mental health, climate justice, or equal access to education, this guide gives you the tools to lead with purpose and impact. No prior experience required—just the courage to care and the willingness to speak up.

Because change doesn’t start in Congress. It starts with you.
