Building and leading an advocacy movement from start to finish in seven simple steps!
Seven (7) Simple Steps to Small-Scale Advocacy Action is designed to help you find and cultivate your inner activist, advocate and community leader.
In seven steps, this course walks you through everything from identifying a cause/issue that you are passionate about and committing to building an advocacy effort/movement around it to measuring the impact of your work.
It will help you approach advocacy work strategically and hone skills that you can apply to leadership in other areas of your personal and work life. At its core, this is a foundational leadership and strategic thinking course that uses advocacy as a vehicle to cultivate your understanding of these leadership concepts
