The Advocacy Academy

At The Advocacy Academy we deliver programmes that bring together young people and local civic leaders in the heart of Brixton, continuously rooting our work in community and solidarity. The Advocacy Academy are youth organisers working to create a more fair, just, and equal society, by building the collective power of young people to bring about change. We train young people with lived experience of injustice to achieve long-term systemic change for themselves and the communities they live in.

Our work to date has focused on three core programmes: the Fellowship Programme (a six-month immersive course into organising and civic engagement), Spark Programme (a 5-day introduction to the basics of organising for change), and the Change-maker Development Programme (training which supports our Members to develop youth work and facilitation skills).

We equip young people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to become active agents for change in the community. For more information, please visit our website.
