Thank you for your interest in the Advocacy Corps. This program trains young advocates to work in their own communities, with support and compensation from FCNL, to organize peers to lobby Congress. 

The Advocacy Corps program includes a 10-day summer intensive training in Washington, DC as well as FCNL’s two lobby weekends in November and March. You’ll be part of a dynamic team of 20 people learning and working together in different parts of the country to make changes on this vital issue. 

  

In the Advocacy Corps, you will learn critical organizing skills and put them into practice with hands-on leadership experience. Advocacy Corps organizers will help arrange meetings with members of Congress in their local offices. We'll help you develop a work plan that highlights your strengths and organizing style. Applicants receive a $3,500 stipend over the course of the program for successful work. Please refer to the full job description and see frequently asked questions for additional information. 

  

Advocacy Corps Issue (2024-2025) 

For the 2024-25 cohort, we are excited to announce that we will partner with the Middle East Policy team at FCNL! We are looking forward to building more advocacy and grassroots power for a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, starting with the important call for a permanent ceasefire. You can find more information about our current ask here, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, de-escalation, and humanitarian access to prevent further civilian harm in Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territory. 

Organizers will help build on the powerful grassroots work already happening around the country, and they will help push for more lasting change.
