Policy advocacy is a process that occurs when groups of people attempt to change or influence the activities of governments, corporations, or other organizations. Policy advocacy also occurs when groups work to change the way policy-making takes place, or when they organize to see an existing policy implemented.

This summer institute offers an introduction to policy advocacy for students, new campaigners, and more experienced advocates. Participants new to the process will gain some basic tools to help develop effective strategies and tactics for promoting social change. The institute also offers more experienced participants a framework within which to reflect upon their practice, and gives all participants an opportunity to bring reflective practice into their own lives and organizations.
