The Canadian youth are a promising generation each consisting of their own diverse individuality, skills, ideas, and positive force. The engagement of youths directly on government bodies, education, decision makers, can improve transparency, accountability and integrity. Through the Youth Political Advocacy Framework, the basics of political advocacy and providing youths with a step by step guide on how they can use their advantage and influence through communicating with government representatives will help them on their advocacy journey. The hope is to empower youth to speak out about the issues they're passionate about and make constant and necessary changes.

Provided are different glossaries that educate youth on the different levels of government and policy makers. With tips about setting goals and preparing a case, pitch and presentation, dress codes, materials and teamwork, World Vision hopes that this framwork helps improve youth confidence in advocacy efforts.
