EVERYONE RELATED TO YOUR ORGANIZATION HAS STORIES TO TELL ABOUT IT (GOOD ONES)
It’s not only designated advocates or spokespersons who can make a difference with their personal stories.
Everyone who is committed to your organization’s mission—leaders, board members, donors, staff and volunteers—can tap the power of their personal stories to strengthen their advocacy and help raise awareness, advance your mission or build support.
Advocacy Workshops for Organizations explore connections between individuals’ lived experiences and the work of the organization.
Workshops can be adapted to champions and ambassadors at all levels and includes:
tips for finding and amplifying their voices as advocates
interactive exercises and group discussion
templates for putting together advocacy talks or conversations
optional one-on-one coaching
Recent groups exploring their personal passions as advocates include
