Brought to you by the CT Early Childhood Alliance
Advocacy Academy
We hear it all the time:
Folks are passionate about issues that matter to them.
They want to make a difference in their communities.
They want to share ideas and work with policymakers to make systemic changes that will improve people’s lives.
But we also hear that people:
don’t feel confident about advocating
don’t understand the legislative process
feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start
are nervous about speaking at a hearing
think their voice doesn’t matter to lawmakers
and we’re here to help.
Advocacy Academy
CT Early Childhood Alliance is proud to present:
This seasonal education series is designed especially for Connecticut residents who want to advocate for causes they care about.
If you want to help make changes that matter, but wish you had someone to show you how it all works, this course is for you.
Best of all, CT Early Childhood Alliance member organizations receive FREE enrollment!
