NextGen Advocacy Network

The HALO Trust's NextGen Advocacy Network is perfect for college students and young professionals under 35 who are passionate about creating change, building safer communities, and supporting humanitarian efforts around the world. This is your chance to make a real difference while gaining invaluable skills and connections! The United States is the world’s largest funder of humanitarian demining, so advocacy is essential to maintain support for programs that make land safe and enable communities to rebuild. By mobilizing Congress to sustain and expand this critical funding, NextGen Advocates play a hands-on role in reducing the global threat of landmines and explosive remnants of war.
