ANDREW GARY ’20 Gary, an active member of St. Martin’s Safety and Security Committee, conceptualized a bill in the Louisiana Legislature that was signed by Gov. John Bel Edwards in June 2019. The bill – Senate Bill 43, now Act 44 – aims to enhance school safety protocol through student participation. Gary says that experience encouraged him to establish The Youth Advocacy team of Louisiana, a student-run nonprofit organization that advocates on legislation and policy to benefit the youth of Louisiana.
Founding the Youth Advocacy Team, a non-profit corporation, and expanding it across the state. Learn more at www.yatla.org.
