Are you an advocate for children?

The Children’s Alliance invites you or someone you may know to our Advocacy Camp Oct. 19th- 21st 2011 at Rainbow Lodge in North Bend, WA.

Here’s a great opportunity to build your skills! Create positive change in your community! Advocacy Camp is a leadership training held in October at the beautiful Rainbow Lodge in North Bend, Washington. We teach essential skills needed in effective public policy advocacy for children and families: media, lobbying, and community building.

Applications are open to adults in Washington State who want to create positive change in their community, improve the lives of children, and sharpen/learn new leadership skills. We encourage low-income and people of color to apply.

Advocacy Camp is a great opportunity to learn and improve leadership ability in advocating for children in public policy. At the end of Advocacy Camp, each graduate will gain tools in lobbying, grassroots community building, and media strategies to make improvements in state policy investments. Advocacy Camp participants are expected to attend the full training. Tuition is $400 for non-members and $300 for organizational members of the Children’s Alliance. Scholarships are available. Depending on available resources, child care and transportation assistance will be available.

Applications are due by Monday, September 12, 2011.  

We want advocacy campers to reflect the diversity within the child advocacy community. We highly encourage individuals with children or work with families directly affected by Children’s Alliance policy issues to apply. We want advocacy campers committed to advocating for policies that benefit children.
