Our Approach
Our Model
1
Campus level
Our campus level chapters ensure that issues that don’t affect an entire school district or Texas as a whole are receiving the attention they deserve.
2
District Level
Our district level teams’ main role is finding local events and opportunities for students to participate in. This includes everything from marches to press conferences.
3
State Level
At the state level we help keep our members informed as to the many goings on in Texas institutions. We also coordinate large-scale events for the most important topics.
"Legislative advocacy can be super intimidating, but a community of students helping you figure out how to get your voice heard is so helpful."
— Luca Sims, SAA Legislative Director
FAQs
How involved do I have to be?
Not involved at all! If you just want to show up to meetings, that’s okay! If you just want to be on the mailing list, that’s okay too! We are always looking for new leaders, so if you want to be engaged and help lead our organization, then we would love to have you. Our goal is to meld the experience to each individual student’s needs, so that there is no pressure and no obligation. High school is stressful enough as it is!
Do you do any national level events?
No, national politics is outside of the scope of what we were created to do. We feel that by focusing on state and local politics, we can have more of an impact, and form more personal relations with those in power. We are of course open to national level events, but don’t seek an active role in organizing them.
