Advocate
At Student Support Network, we not only work to meet students’ immediate needs but also advocate for change related to the underlying issues that cause food insecurity and poverty.
Advocacy is an essential part of the mission of the Student Support Network. We realize change happens both at the individual level and at the systemic level, so we supplement the direct assistance we provide to students with advocacy for change through policy – in the school system, local government, and beyond.
We’d love to add your voice to our advocacy efforts! Start by visiting our Information Center to get up to speed on the rates of poverty in Baltimore County and in Network schools, how food insecurity impacts students’ ability to succeed, and more.
And finally, please consider joining our Advocacy Committee, led by Co-Chairs: Board Member Peter Dimitriades & Johns Hopkins Professor Adam Sheingate.
