UNA Credential in Advocacy and Civic Engagement (Online)
Advocacy is about standing up for your mission. It’s speaking for the people who rely on you for a better today and a better tomorrow. Without advocacy, your words won’t just fall on deaf ears, they won’t fall on any ears. Advocacy can mobilize the community (and elected officials) to advance your issues and help you find and deliver solutions to your community. The Credential in Advocacy and Civic Engagement gives you the resources you need to communicate your mission, lobby for legal change, and strengthen your community.
Advocacy is both legal and essential to give your nonprofit a voice, solve (and avoid) problems, and cultivate deeper bonds with people who share your dreams for a better world. Course Description and Learning Objectives:Advocacy and Civic Engagement is more than politics. Whether you are engaging parents of the youth you serve or working with community members about street design in their neighborhoods, advocacy should be a priority for any community organization. Civic engagement empowers organizations to affect change at the individual, community, and societal levels. Nonprofits provide an important vehicle through which individuals and organizations and work together to improve their communities. Nonprofits should represent the interests of the people they serve through public education and public policy advocacy, as well as by encouraging board members, staff, volunteers, and constituents to participate in the public affairs of the community. Knowing how to accomplish this is essential for any nonprofit. Today’s legislative policy changes can empower organizations or mean drastic cut-backs. How does your organization engage in the political process and create the change you need to see in the world? Completion of this course will deliver a strategy to for you to follow to engage the community and impact legislation. This training course covers these topics and skills: The Credential in Volunteer Management, one of nine courses in UNA’s Credential program, brings updated best practices to your organization and supports your integration of these practices into your nonprofit with expert-led classroom sessions, consultations, and coaching.
