Yes, you’re an advocate! Elevating Impact Through Community Training

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

In our Learning Lab, we’ll not only share successful strategies but also candidly discuss lessons learned from our experiences. Advocates, beginners to advanced, will learn practical skills, including effective communication with elected officials, crafting compelling arguments, and identifying opportune moments to voice their concerns. Empowering community members through training and outreach can significantly amplify the impact of environmental advocacy initiatives. Additionally, we’ll focus on maintaining professionalism while succinctly presenting expertise during advocacy efforts—whether it’s a three-minute pitch or a longer representation on behalf of your organization.

This is the first of two Advocacy Training Learning Labs. The second is Collaborative Advocacy Campaign Building,"on Thursday at 9:00am.
