advocacy toolkit.

By providing the opportunity for others to learn about programs and services from which they benefit, you not only strengthen your work in advocacy, you provide an effective and successful outlet for others who want to make a difference but are not sure how.

No one tells your story better than you

Everyone wants the best for their family, but sometimes advocacy can be daunting. Where do you start? What do you say? What does advocacy even mean?

Advocacy is the act of publicly expressing interest in specific causes and taking clear actions to support the positive advancement of those causes. Individuals, families, and organizations typically use advocacy to achieve three goals:

• Raise awareness: The direct promotion of a cause (e.g. the need for public funding for NH's Family Resource Centers)
• Create change: Actions intended to reach a specific outcome (e.g. calling or writing your NH State Rep about the need for legislation allocating funding for NH's Family Resource Centers)
• Movement building: Part of a larger effort to serve a specific cause and rally a base of supports (e.g. joining with others to create greater visibility and potential for change)
