Assignment:

Putting Social Advocacy Skills into Action

Please note that this is an MSW course. Please check Grammar and use some of the resources I have provided 

The policy practice/advocacy can take whatever form that you wish

and can be on any level: agency, community, state, or federal. You

will submit a prospectus (3–4 pages) that describes the problem that

is being addressed and the expected advocacy activities.

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 longterm

impact? Why or why not?

The prospectus will need to be well researched and written using

APA guidelines. Data should come from at least five sources.

Make sure that your assertions are supported by appropriate

research and reputable resources.
