The Why and How of WA-SEN

• We believe hearing directly from students about the student experience is the most powerful tool legislators can harness to make informed decisions.
• We build student networks and give them the skills and tools they need to share their stories with legislators.
• We host an annual Student Summit in the fall, with guest speakers and workshops to improve engagement, organizing, and communication skills.
• We recruit students to participate in legislative gatherings, including town halls, in-district meetings, and community events.
• We offer student grants for projects that amplify student voices.
• We believe training grounded in equitable access to education beyond high school leading through the lens of race and those most marginalized serves all Washingtonians.
• In February of each year, we host students and sponsor meetings with legislators during an annual Legislative Day in Olympia.
