Advocacy

Careers

From the Program Director

"Advocacy is one of the most crucial and versatile skill sets a person can have. The ability to move people and institutions by conveying information and arguments, and by taking individual and group action, is essential to making change in any personal or professional context. In my opinion, no democracy can thrive without effective advocates for the ideas - even (or especially) for the conflicting ones - that shape our society."
~ Susan Palmer
