In partnership with the Pac-12, Voice In Sport (VIS) launched a VIS Advocate Program on Feb. 3, 2021 in which Pac-12 Female Student-Athletes from each member institution will be trained on Title IX literacy and enforcement. VIS will publish a Title IX Advocacy Toolkit and plans to expand its VIS Advocate program to all high school, NCAA and NAIA institutions by the 50th Anniversary of Title IX on June 23, 2022. This will equate to over 23,000 VIS Advocates and eventually become the largest grassroots initiative to support girls and women in sport in history.
Together, through the VIS Advocacy Expert Council, VIS Advocacy Leadership Team and soon to be thousands of VIS Advocates, Voice in Sport will continue to change more than just the game.

The Pac-12 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a forum for Pac-12 student-athlete leaders to promote camaraderie and cooperation while fostering a sense of Conference unity and pride. The group is composed of two student-athletes (one male, one female) from each member institution who are chosen by their administrators to represent their campuses. These representatives also serve on their campus SAACs, and Pac-12 SAAC meetings bring together best practices for engaging fellow student-athletes and connecting with their communities.
Each semester, Pac-12 SAAC participates in a group social outreach project focusing on inclusion and opportunity. In the spring of 2019 they cleaned up a park in San Francisco's Bayview District and in January 2019 they built playhouses for Habitat for Humanity in San Francisco.
