Catalog description

Section information text: Advocacy at its best means promoting social change through unified voices of the community, needs-based decision-making, and protection of the rights and interests of the community. For advanced human services professional practitioners, advocacy is critical in supporting individuals, families, communities, and organizations in driving social change. Human services professional practitioners are often called on by the community to be the voice for those who need one. In this course, students explore the critical role of advocacy in social change, how to be an advocate, and how to create community-based, actionable change. In preparation for the capstone project, students examine the value of a white paper in driving change and construct an outline for a white paper that will become part of their capstone.
