Student Aid Advocacy Day
Each year, FOL leads statewide advocacy initiatives that highlight the power and promise of LPP—most notably Student Aid Advocacy Day, where students meet directly with legislators and civic leaders to advocate for education funding and student support services while sharing their lived experiences and goals.
Because LPP sites operate within diverse institutions and communities, a coordinated statewide advocacy effort is essential. FOL fulfills that role by championing program needs, promoting sustainable funding, and ensuring that youth and educators are represented in statewide conversations.
Together, LPP and FOL work to build a stronger, more responsive system of support for the students who need it most.
