Our programmes empower young people to lead change, build skills, and shape more just, equitable communities through collective action.
Roots to Rise

Let Me Land
Let Me Land is a free healing space for young people to process injustice, build support, and develop tools for collective wellbeing and action.
Join the movement
We know that young people are already leading change in their schools, workplaces and communities, even when they are not always given the space, support or tools to do it fully.
At The Advocacy Academy, our programmes exist to shift that.
We bring together young people and community members who are ready to grow their leadership, build their political identity, and take action on the issues that impact their lives. You do not need to have experience, just curiosity, care, and a willingness to get involved.
Across our programmes, you will build organising and leadership skills, connect with others, and be supported to exercise your voice, rooted in joy, hope, and lived experience, and turn that into action and change at every level.
If you are ready to develop your voice, your confidence and your power, we want to hear from you.
Partner With Us
We know that many organisations are seeking to support young people to speak up, advocate for themselves and shape the world that they live in – but they don’t always have access to the training, tools or capacity to do this well. Partnering with The Advocacy Academy aims to bridge that gap.
Across the UK, we have partnered with dozens of organisations to deliver bespoke training on youth governance, youth leadership and power & community organising, including the National Youth Agency and Amnesty International.
Through partnering with us, your organisation can access nationally regarded training and expertise from The Advocacy Academy – we can equip you to support young people most impacted by injustice with the confidence, skills & tools to advocate for themselves and to build power within the systems they exist in.
