Do you have tips or advice on making advocacy your career?

Our community would love to hear from you! Please share your experiences on how you have turned advocacy into your career or side gig.

  1. I got into advocacy by focusing on something I care about. You’ve gotta be passionate, people see right through fake stuff.

    I started by sharing my story online and connecting with others. Volunteering helped me learn the ropes and build some credibility.

    Eventually, I started pitching myself for gigs, writing, speaking, whatever came up

    1. , thank you for sharing! How did you go about beginning to pitch yourself for opportunities? What avenues would you recommend? - Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
