The Certified Advocate Development Program (September 3—December 3, 2026) - Online
The General Board of Church and Society (GBCS) is offering the Certified Advocate Development Program, a cohort-based initiative designed to equip United Methodists to engage in faith-based legislative and policy advocacy in the public square. Through the program, Certified Advocates will work closely with advocacy staff to communicate Social Principle concerns with policymakers and leaders around the world.
In an effort to be contextually relevant, each cohort will be based by region. Each year, we will facilitate a new cohort for a different region of our United Methodist connection. Registration for the U.S. region is now open to all who are interested and will close at the end of day on August 21.
