Advocacy and policy encompasses not only raising public awareness (often about a particular issue) and creating or reforming policies, but also effectively implementing and enforcing of policies. Through advocacy at Lakeshore, we try to influence decision makers to change certain policy, public opinion or attitudes, and/or to mobilize resources for social change.
