Advocacy by an individual or by an advocacy group normally aim to influence public-policy and resource allocation decisions within political, economic, and social systems and institutions; it may be motivated from moral, ethical or faith principles or simply to protect an asset of interest. Advocacy can include many activities that a person or organization undertakes including media campaigns, public speaking, commissioning and publishing research or poll or the 'filing of friend of the court briefs'.

GNU Free Documentation License How can I volunteer some time to a father's rights advocacy group? Q. I am a father in the process of trying to legalize my rights to my child, and so far some of the things I have heard are absolutely unacceptable under any conditions. I knew some of the laws were ridiculous and baseless, but now that I have seen it first hand, I must do something to help all of the other fathers out there who want to love, support and SEE their children.For the record, I feel BOTH parents who want to see their child, (barring any legitimate endangerment concerns) should be able to as equally as possible! Asked by mavic - Wed Oct 8 14:24:22 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I couldn't agree with you more. My husband struggles to get rights to see his two daughters and be involved in the decision process for them with his ex all the time. It's frustrating that all the laws are set up to give the mother the rights whether she is fit or not. You didn't list what area you are in, so it's tough to match groups for you. Here's a list of advocacy groups, some for moms and some for dads. You can browse them and see if there are any local chapters you can volunteer with. Best wishes to you, it's good to see someone who wants to make the world a better place.

I withdrew in a week and was told i was withdrawn, now they are trying to bill me for a whole year and have sent it to collections. Does anyone know somebody or a group i can call for help with their fradulent billing of me? Asked by jimmyhartiii - Thu Oct 23 16:51:11 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. you should call the school and speak with them, tell them what happened, show them proof you legally and fully withdrew. Once it's sent to collections though, there may be nothing you can do except either pay it, settle it or ignore it... if you choose to ignore it make sure you contact the credit agencies and dispute the bad marks they put on your credit report.

Q. I am looking to apply for next year. I would also prefer to travel to a interesting city. Asked by Ryan P - Tue Jul 1 21:42:49 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Here are a few programs to consider. There are many more out there. I would probably go about this via thinking about where you want to go and searching the programs in those areas (you can go to www.cswe.org and look for accredited programs) - there is a similar list of Canadian Social Work programs. Go to the schools website and see what concentrations they have and how they are described.
