This study examines the integration of traditional, digital tools and platforms in creating and disseminating visual content aimed at promoting various advocacies. By analyzing students' creative outputs, the research highlights innovative ways young advocates leverage new media art to amplify their messages and engage broader audiences. Initial findings reveal that new media art enables students to overcome traditional barriers of advocacy, offering accessible and versatile means for expressing complex ideas and emotions. The study investigated the processes and techniques employed by students, such as conceptualization, digital illustration, video art, interactive media, and social media campaigns, showcasing their potential effectiveness in fostering dialogue and inspiring action. Through student write-ups and visual analysis of their creative outputs, the research evaluates how students translate their personal advocacies into digital visual narratives using new media art. The implications of this study suggest that new media art not only enhances the visibility of student advocacies but also empowers young artists to participate actively in societal discourse. It calls for educational institutions to support and integrate digital art practices within their curricula to cultivate a generation of socially conscious and digitally literate individuals. This research contributes to a broader understanding of the role of art in social movements and the potential of digital mediums in driving progressive change
