ABOUT THE °Ä²Ê¿ª½±â€™S ADVOCACY INSTITUTE

The °Ä²Ê¿ª½±â€™s Advocacy Institute is an annual training program designed to help provide practical, hands-on experience and training in the field of advocacy.

Our program is designed to be an immersive learning experience where our fellows develop the muscle for integrated advocacy and learn all the necessary elements for developing and executing an advocacy plan in Alabama.

Throughout the program, our fellows will work closely with °Ä²Ê¿ª½± staff, subject experts, and other key stakeholders to bring these plans to fruition as they seek to effectuate change within their local communities.

Participants will receive a stipend to support their participation in our program and will also qualify to have their advocacy plans supported and seeded by the °Ä²Ê¿ª½±.

The °Ä²Ê¿ª½±â€™s Advocacy Institute teaches skills that are designed to directly help those interested in and/or affected by societal issues to fight for societal change.
