The Advocacy Fellowship program curriculum covers key areas that are essential to developing or improving skills and expertise in advocacy and nonprofit lobbying. Fellows must make a commitment to attend all of the training sessions.

• Media and Messaging with one-on-one media and presentation training
• Understanding legal issues around advocacy and nonprofit lobbying

This Fellowship program is nonpartisan, and does not promote a specific policy agenda. The focus is on building capacity for effective advocacy and not about specific issues.
