Our Mission & Story
The Advocacy Club is a middle school–run movement that began at Astra Nova School with a simple idea: young people can create real change.
Our Beginning
What started as a small group of students passionate about protecting the planet has quickly grown into an international initiative. Today, The Advocacy Club is active in 5 countries and 7 states, proving that the power of youth leadership can cross borders and inspire communities everywhere.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: protect wildlife, safeguard natural spaces, and advocate for smarter policies that balance human enjoyment with environmental responsibility. We don't just talk about making a difference — we organize, educate, and take action.
Current Focus
Our current campaign focuses on one of the most overlooked threats to wildlife: discarded fishing line. Each year, countless birds, turtles, fish, and marine mammals suffer slow, painful deaths from entanglement, and yet this problem is completely preventable.
Our Approach
By calling for biodegradable alternatives, recycling systems, and stronger park management, we are working to protect both wildlife and future generations. We believe in practical solutions that work for everyone.
The Power of Youth
The Advocacy Club shows that when students unite — across neighborhoods, schools, and even countries — we can create lasting change. Together, we can protect every lake, river, and ocean.
Our Values
Youth Leadership
We believe young people have the power, passion, and perspective needed to create meaningful environmental change.
Global Impact
Environmental problems don't recognize borders, and neither do our solutions. We work across countries and communities.
Practical Action
We focus on achievable, evidence-based solutions that protect wildlife while respecting human activities.
Education First
Change starts with understanding. We educate ourselves and others about environmental issues and solutions.
