We NEED Your Input to Build a National Advocacy Campaign

In preparation for advocacy on behalf of all sports-based youth development programs nationwide, the Up2Us Advocacy Taskforce has released a survey to help shape Up2Us' strategy.  We want to hear from you!

As a sports-based youth development provider, what kind of advocacy would be most useful to you?  What are your most pressing needs and tallest obstacles?  Let us know by following the link below and completing the short survey.

Thank you!
