City Council Advocacy for Girls and Families

This program prepares young women and their families to engage directly with local government. Participants will learn how the Houston City Council functions, how to identify policy issues that impact their community, and the specific steps required to participate in public meetings. The curriculum focuses on transforming personal experiences into professional public testimonies, ensuring that the perspectives of teen mothers, foster youth, and low-income families are represented at City Hall. By the end of these workshops, attendees will have a practical roadmap for presenting at council sessions and tracking local legislative changes.
