Visit the Hill 2026

 

 Join Iowa ACAC and the Iowa School Counselors Association for our FREE Advocacy event to learn more about what is happening in the State Capitol and how it affects our education system.

Educational session topics will include discussion on Advocacy, College & Career Planning for all Ages, Mental Health & Support, and Financial Awareness, which should all assist when we head up to the Capitol to speak with representatives.

Professional School Counselors and other educators: We know that funding is sometimes the piece that doesn’t always fall into place and Iowa ACAC would like to try to help with that. Please consider filling out the application for the travel scholarship to help get you and your students to this event!
