The Virtual Regional Education Advocacy Development for Youth (READY) Teen Retreat is a free leadership program that teaches teens the ins and outs of advocacy and gives participants the opportunity to use these skills at the State level. This will take place on Saturday, March 20 before taking part in Virtual Albany Days from Sunday, March 21 – Tuesday, March 23. 

Teens will learn how to tell their story and will have the opportunity to utilize your advocacy skills when they speak to legislators at Virtual Albany Days. The retreat will be filled with interactive games and sessions.

This program is for ages 13 – 18 and is FREE to all attendees. You must live in New York State and either have a bleeding disorder, be a carrier, or be a family member of someone with a bleeding disorder in order to attend.
