Putting Social Advocacy Skills into Action
Order ID: 89JHGSJE83839 Style: APA/MLA/Harvard/Chicago Pages: 5-10 Instructions:
Writing a proposal that functions as a focus of change is a significant part of being a social worker/policy advocate. This is your opportunity to use your advocacy skills to change and improve the lives of others.
In this Assignment, you write a proposal for some form of social advocacy that will seek to change a social, organizational, or legislative policy. The proposal may also involve advocacy for the amelioration of a social problem. The purpose of this assignment is to thoughtfully and thoroughly plan how you will advocate changing a social problem or policy that is of interest to you.
The policy practice/advocacy can take whatever form you wish and can be on any level: agency, community, state, or federal. You will submit a prospectus (34 pages) that describes the problem that is being addressed and the expected advocacy activities.
By Day 7
Submit your assignment.
Be specific when describing the social problem or policy you would like to change and address the following:
If you selected a policy, when was the policy enacted, by whom, and for what reason?
How are you going to work to change the policy/problem (i.e., plan for social advocacy)?
How will your efforts address the policy/social problem described?
Is continued policy practice/advocacy needed to make a long-term impact? Why or why not?Required Readings
