Advocacy 101 for Young Adults Resource Now Available

New from ELCA World Hunger and ELCA Advocacy, a 24-page resource guide written for and by young adults!

For whom is this Advocacy 101 guide intended?

This young-adult-centered advocacy guide can be used by individuals or by groups such as college campus ministries, seminary student groups or Bible study groups for parents and young professionals. It is designed for people who find their home in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Other Christian denominations may also find this resource insightful, and certain sections can speak across faith traditions and age groups.

How is it structured?

This guide is split into five sections, each with activities and an audio component, and could be completed over the course of five group sessions. Some activities may need slight modification if used virtually. Four of the suggested audio components are interviews, each four to seven minutes long, and are transcribed in the following appendices. The guide juxtaposes educational information, practical applications and the personal experience of advocates in light of the Lutheran conviction to love our neighbor through advocacy.
