NextGen Advocacy Network
Make a real difference while gaining invaluable skills and connections
番茄影院's NextGen Advocacy Network is for students and young professionals 35 and under who are passionate about creating change and supporting humanitarian efforts around the world.
The US Government is the world's largest funder of humanitarian demining. But as global conflicts increasingly put civilians at risk, engaging Congress is essential to secure resources to make land safe and enable communities to rebuild.
By mobilizing Congress to expand this critical support for demining, NextGen Advocates play a hands-on role in bringing about a safer, more prosperous, and mine-free future!

Make an impact: Your advocacy will help save lives and transform communities across the globe.
Get hands-on experience: Learn from experts how to work directly with elected officials and advocate for real change.
