Supporting the Advocacy Academy is a strategic investment in systemic change. Your support equips those most impacted by injustice with the tools to transform the very systems that have marginalized them. In a world where structural inequities are growing, bold action is necessary. The Advocacy Academy provides a clear path to long-term impact fueled by self reflection, understanding the lived experiences of different communities, and learning practical tools to advance justice.

  • Equips advocates with essential tools to drive systemic change in their communities
  • Provides an immediate, tangible impact by empowering those who are already best positioned to put their learning into action
  • Strengthens advocacy ecosystems rather than addressing issues in isolation. People do not live single issue lives. 
  • Creates a ripple effect because when advocates are trained, entire communities benefit

Your support expands access by democratizing educational opportunities and fuels the next generation of leaders seeking to create a more equitable future globally, ushering in more just futures, hand-in-hand with high-impact change makers.

Informed by over a decade of proven experience, we’ve trained hundreds of students, professionals, academics, and activists around the world. The Advocacy Essentials Certificate program is designed for activists, artists, professionals, and leaders across civil society, social enterprise, and mission-driven organizations who want to sharpen their advocacy skills and create meaningful change. The curriculum blends cutting-edge research, legal strategies, and on-the-ground insights from frontline advocates around the world. The result is a unique, action-oriented learning experience that equips participants with the tools, analysis, and networks to drive systemic change.

Your sponsorship will equip artists, activists, and civil society professionals on the frontlines of injustice with the skills and knowledge to drive meaningful change in their communities and beyond. This can be offered to the communities you serve and fit your funding remit.
