#spring26 I’d like to get into advocacy or lobbying for nonprofits, what pathways lead to or prepare you for these types of positions ?
What is a solid pathway to advocacy for reentry programs and nonprofits in general? Are there any colleges that you can recommend? Groups or organizations that I should look into? How can I earn money in this field?
What direction should I take, I'm great at comms and work with refugees and LGTBQ seniors
my BA is in International Relations. I have volunteered in 8 refugee camps in Greece with Syrian and Iraqi refugees. This work was perfect because I was in charge of comms state-side and worked on the ground in Greece, accessing needs, mitigating issues, and being surrounded by people and a team. I stopped volunteering because of money. I am not privileged enough to keep working for free, though I loved the work! In SF, I volunteered with Openhouse and found I adored working with LGBTQ seniors. There's not really a market for that, besides Openhouse, is there? I work now as a project assistant for an education nonprofit, but I really have no passion for it. I do well at comms, here, though! #career #LGBTQ #refugees #seniors #communications #publicrelations #ngo
