The Advocacy Training Project
The Advocacy Training Project or ATP is an immersive six-week course made up of two tracks based on knowledge and levels of expertise:
- Track 1 | Emerging Advocacy Training Project - Introductory Level
- Track 2 | Rising Advocacy Training Project - Advanced Level
Each track is composed of three main topics, broken down into two sessions for each topic.
ATP participants gain knowledge and acquire new tools to engage in a wide range of advocacy activities, i.e., lobbying days, community organizing, petitions, letters to the editor, boycotts, parades/walks, street theater, action research, letter campaigns, read-a-thons, storytelling / public testimonials, door-to-door canvassing, panel discussion, contact elected officials.
We developed ATP to be diverse and inclusive to ensure participants reflect the communities we serve and our volunteers.
If you have questions or would like more information about the Advocacy Training Project, please let our Advocacy staff know.
