The Community Action Board’s Community Advocacy Institute provides residents with the opportunity to learn and utilize basic advocacy skills. Participants must attend virtual monthly workshops and complete an advocacy project (testifying before County Council or submitting a letter to County Council) in order to graduate from the program. This year, all workshops will be live interactive webinars.

Participants must be Montgomery County residents with a combined household income of $56,000 or less. Applications are due August 28.
