Advocacy Corps Organizer

Position Overview

Thank you for your interest in the Advocacy Corps. This program trains young advocates to work in their own communities with the support and compensation from The Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL), a national, nonpartisan Quaker organization dedicated to advancing peace, justice, and environmental stewardship. By engaging in respectful dialogue and using personal stories, the team builds positive relationships with federal officials to encourage bipartisan support.

The program features a 10-day hybrid summer intensive training—with most sessions held in Washington, DC—and participation in an FCNL lobby weekend conference in the spring. As an Advocacy Corps member, you’ll develop critical organizing skills while arranging meetings with members of Congress and creating a work plan that highlights your strengths and organizing style. In addition, organizers will build on grassroots efforts within their communities to lobby for lasting change on issues of economic security and justice.
