Advocacy Training Boot Camp:

Aimed at beginner advocates, this is a great opportunity to get the advocacy training you have been wanting.. This virtual NDSC Advocacy Training Boot Camp From Your Couch is free and open to anyone wanting to learn more about advocacy. Self-advocates are encouraged to participate.  This session features information from effective self-advocates, parent advocates, and the expert NDSC Policy & Advocacy Team. From the comfort of your own home, learn what advocacy is, the basics of the legislative process, how to engage and build relationships with elected officials, and how to utilize social media in your advocacy efforts. You will also receive other important resources and tips. I am the coordinator of this camp and my daughter Rachel and I will both be presenting a segment. We hope you’ll join us.
