Week5.2.docx

Advocacy is an action that you take to support and change an issue that is impacting a group or population. In human services, advocacy is an important part of what we do. As a human service worker, you will assist individuals and communities in meeting their needs and function as effectively as possible. We advocate for our clients, for the needs of populations, and for our profession. For your final assignment, you will choose one cultural group (e.g., a specific racial,ethnic, spirituality, generational, disability, LGBTQIA+, socioeconomic group) different from the one you belong to and develop an advocacy project. Your final paper will have three parts: an introduction that examines the background of your chosen cultural group, your advocacy project that provide details of an advocacy effort for your chosen cultural group, and a reflection on what you have learned from completing this project.

· Read  The Importance of Advocacy and Advocacy Competencies in the Human Service Professions .

· Research your chosen cultural group. This includes the following:

· Finding information about pertinent historical, political, social, economic, and cultural factors related to your chosen cultural group;

· Finding an area for which you can create an advocacy project;

· Finding facts, statistics, and stories that show the need for your advocacy project;

· Identifying people and organizations that can aid in your advocacy project;

· Identifying ethical codes and considerations; and

· Finding a law pertaining to your chosen cultural group.

In your paper,

Part 1: Introduction

· Identify a cultural group that is different from one to which you belong.

· Summarize the pertinent historical, political, social, economic, and cultural factors related to your chosen cultural group.

· Identify at least one relevant law that has impacted your chosen cultural group, either in a positive or negative way.

Part 2: Advocacy Project

Create an advocacy project for your chosen cultural group or population, which includes the following:

· Identify what area you want to advocate for with respect to the cultural group you have identified.

· Analyze why this area is important for advocacy; include facts, statistics, and stories that show the need for this work.

· Create your action plan for advocacy (i.e., what you could do). Be sure to include at least two goals, at least three steps you will take to accomplish the goals, and organizations and people that could help you meet the goal.

· Explain how your plan for advocacy will improve the area you identified.

· Identify any ethical considerations you need to understand when taking on your advocacy project (use an appropriate code of ethics).
