You'll also gain knowledge on how to build strategic relationships, manage campaigns, use social media for advocacy, and understand legal and ethical issues related to advocacy. These skills are indispensable for those in roles like social workers, public relations officers, lawyers, and individuals involved in activism or lobbying.
