Community Organizations

Does your community organization want to support its members or just provide them with relevant information? Our team will work hand-in-hand with your members to create a meaningful and accessible presentation to launch your organization to success.

Program/District Consultation

If you are seeing repeated patterns with your staff, or if you can’t put your finger on next steps, a member of AdvocacySD is here to help. We will tailor a consulting plan for you that will meet your needs. We observe programming, interview staff, analyze data provided and provide a detailed report of our findings. We collaborate with you to create next steps that are budget-friendly and reasonable. If you need support in implementing those steps, our team is happy to continue providing support. We provide pre-and post- studies to ensure you are meeting your targeted goals.
