“I chose to accept this internship at LPA because I have a deep passion for youth empowerment, development, and engagement in positive social change. “

“I think that people who go through the program are just more thoughtful about their advocacy. I can see the change in the advocates week to week as they're getting and hearing the feedback.”

“Advocating for patients is one of our biggest roles–advocating to patients’ families, to their provider or physician, local and state government—and sometimes advocating with the hospital system itself.”

Your storytelling becomes Storytelling for ACTION when it becomes FOCUSED.

Each year, our pro bono program, LPA-BEYOND, supports organizations working in specific advocacy areas. This year, our focus is on those taking climate action.

For more than 20 years, Matt Wolf has helped young people find and amplify their voices to create the change they want to see in their worlds.

“Using the right story at the right time for the right purpose, rather than getting a patient story and checking a box.”

Every time I explain what my internship entailed, it piques people's interest and sparks conversations about important subjects.
