Teen Advocacy Council

The Teen Advocacy Council (TAC) is more than a leadership program — it is a supportive community where high school girls can build friendships, find their voice, and connect with trusted mentors who encourage them every step of the way.

Throughout the year, TAC members strengthen their leadership skills and put their voices into action through meaningful experiences that impact themselves and their community. Each year, girls lead an advocacy project centered around an issue they are passionate about, working together to raise awareness, educate others, and create positive change.

TAC members also participate in experiences that expand their understanding of leadership, wellness, and community impact, including college tours, mental health fairs, and initiatives focused on prevention and education. Through partnerships with the Washington County Health Department, TAC members have become Tobacco Free Influencers, helping educate their peers about the risks of tobacco and vaping. They also support Too Good for Drugs initiatives and collaborate with local organizations to uplift and empower girls and women throughout Washington County.

Through TAC, girls develop the confidence to speak up, the skills to lead, and the connections to know they are never advocating alone. They leave the program stronger, smarter, and bolder — ready to make a difference in their schools, communities, and beyond.
