1. What is Citizen Advocacy?

“Advocacy” is about enabling people to speak up for what they want and get their views heard. It describes a situation where one person sticks up for another.

“Citizen” means a member of society, which includes all of us.

Citizen Advocacy is a way for ordinary citizens to become involved in the life of someone in our community who’s vulnerable. It involves the creation of long-term partnerships between two individuals.

Citizen Advocacy makes people feel included and POWERFUL!
