Putting Social Advocacy Skills into Action<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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 (3\u20134 pages) that describes the problem that is being addressed and the expected advocacy activities.<\/p>\n
Submit your assignment.<\/p>\n
Be specific when describing the social problem or policy you would like to change and address the following:<\/p>\n
\u2022 If you selected a policy, when was the policy enacted, by whom, and for what reason?<\/p>\n
\u2022 How are you going to work to change the policy\/problem (i.e., plan for social advocacy)?<\/p>\n
\u2022 How will your efforts address the policy\/social problem described?<\/p>\n
\u2022 Is continued policy practice\/advocacy needed to make a long-term impact? Why or why not?<\/p>\n
The prospectus will need to be well researched and written using APA guidelines. Data should come from at least five sources.<\/p>\n
Make sure that your assertions are supported by appropriate research and reputable resources.<\/p>\n
