Micro-volunteerism and Volunteer Opportunities
Advocacy is not about making noise; it’s about making an impact. Real influence starts simple and gradually becomes more sophisticated over time. The journey toward becoming an influential advocate for NAA typically starts with sending emails through NAA’s Action Center and gradually leads to face-to-face meetings with policymakers (the most influential advocacy tactic in any advocate’s toolkit).
Submit your interest to start receiving information from NAA about opportunities to learn more about effective strategies and tactics for establishing and building influential relationships with your policymakers.
