What Is Advocacy Day?
Advocacy Day brings Colorado's charter school community together at the State Capitol to learn, connect, and advocate for charter public schools.
Throughout the morning, participants will gain insight into the legislative process, hear from state leaders, explore education policy and legislation affecting charter schools, and see the Colorado General Assembly in action.
It's also an opportunity to demonstrate the collective impact of Colorado's charter school community and reinforce an important message: charter schools are free, public, and open to all students.
Through meaningful engagement with policymakers and the democratic process, participants will help elevate the needs of charter schools and the students and families they serve.
Who Should Attend?
Advocacy Day is designed for Colorado charter school communities, including:
✔️ High School and Middle School students interested in government, leadership, advocacy, or civic engagement
✔️ Teachers and educators looking to connect classroom learning with real-world public policy
✔️ School leaders and staff who want to advocate for their schools and better understand the legislative process
Schools are encouraged to attend as a group and give students the opportunity to experience state government firsthand.
A Real-World Learning Experience for Students
Advocacy Day gives students the chance to take learning beyond the classroom and see civic engagement in action.
By visiting the Capitol and engaging with Colorado's legislative process, students can deepen their understanding of government, public policy, and civic participation while seeing how decisions made at the state level can directly affect their schools and communities.
Most importantly, students will see that advocacy isn't just something done by policymakers and adults—their experiences, perspectives, and voices matter, too.
