Legislative Trainings
Our curriculum teaches the critical strategic and technical skills needed for today’s legislative advocacy. Our cohort model and intimate trainings foster collaborative networks that develop trust across issue areas, sectors, and the State of New York.
All trainings are produced by a trusted community of government insiders, seasoned advocates, journalists, and organizers. Participants advance strategy, build relationships, share skills, gather information, and optimize their legislative campaigns.
Woven into all of our training opportunities is a commitment to interactive participation, the use of relevant case studies, and an understanding of the dynamics of privilege and oppression in legislative advocacy.

In Person Trainings
Instructions
We will be announcing more in-person trainings in 2019 – likely on Long Island and in Buffalo. We anticipate more demand than we can meet for these trainings and will be accepting participants on a rolling basis by application. Please answer every question on the application. Incomplete applications will not be considered. If accepted, in-person trainings are free for members and cost $50 per person for prospective members.
Contact hello@advocacy-institute.org for a link to the application or with any questions.
Hudson Valley & Westchester 2 Day (March 20 & 21)
These in-person training sessions will be tailored to regional priorities, focusing on the legislative landscape and power dynamics at the local and state level. We’ll explore best practices for supporting grantees, coalitions, and campaigns in legislative and budget work. Using campaign case studies and AI tools, we’ll illustrate how funders can track more effectively the critical milestones in legislative advocacy. We’ll practice applying these best practices and AI tools to your organization — ensuring that you leave with concrete resources for understanding and mapping legislative advocacy timelines, key players, and structures.
Please note, the curriculum is cumulative and a webinar will serves as a pre-requisite for the in-person training.
