What is Advocacy?

Advocacy is an important part of the work of Catholic Charities; in fact, our mission statement names advocacy along with service and community building as the ways in which we serve our consumers. Advocacy recognizes that there is a story behind every issue, and a story behind every face. Advocacy allows us to speak on behalf of our consumers and most importantly to encourage our consumers to speak out for themselves. Advocacy, paired with the critical services we provide is a powerful tool of healing and change.
