Voices of Impact Teen Leadership Academy is a 8-week Intensive Program based in Watts, California, dedicated to equipping teenagers with the tools to advocate for the correction of health disparities that directly affect their parents and guardians.

Each week is composed of intense training, guidance, and mentorship from Voices of Impact staff, healthcare professionals, and specialists. These health advocates will assist them in creating a research presentation on a chronic debilitating condition of their choice and how that condition impacts the dynamic of home life with children.
