Advocacy Partners

Our Advocacy Partners Program is designed for direct service organizations to create or deepen internal advocacy capacity. The program includes a cohesive package of training, coaching, administrative support, and relationship building. We offer three tiers of programming so that nonprofits can opt in to the level that best suits their current budget and capacity. Over time, Empower can work with you to deepen your team’s investment in and capacity for the work, with the ultimate goal of your organization running a self-sustaining advocacy program.
