It's advocacy season, and we need your help. If you are wondering how you can advocate for STEP to continue receiving funding, we encourage you to join the APACS Letter Campaign! Legislators and their staff want to hear from students in their own words. Tell your story! Discuss how additional funding will enable you to be successful in our program. The first 500 letters will go to key legislators. They need to understand what STEP means to you and why additional funding is critical to your success.
