Jaffe, International Child Resource Institute Six Steps to Successful Child Advocacy: Changing the World for Children offers an interdisciplinary approach to child advocacy, nurturing key skills through a proven six-step process that has been used to train child advocates and create social change around the world. The approach is applicable for micro-advocacy for one child, meso-advocacy for a community or group of children, and macro-advocacy at a regional, national, or international level. This practical text offers skill-building activities and includes timely topics such as how to use social media for advocacy. Case studies of advocacy campaigns highlight applied approaches to advocacy across a range of issues, including child welfare, disability, early childhood, and education. Words of wisdom from noted child advocates from the U.S. and around the world, including a foreword from Jane Goodall, illustrate key concepts. Readers are guided through the process of developing a plan and tools for a real-life child advocacy campaign. KEY FEATURES: • A six-step approach (knowing your issue, conducting research, prepar- ing materials, creating effective meetings, conducting follow-up, and reinforcing positive outcomes) pro- vides a framework for planning and conducting a real-life child advocacy campaign. • Concepts and advocacy strategies are illustrated by both domestic and global case studies covering a range of topics (including the areas of child welfare, early childhood, disability, and education) and con- tributions from 18 noted advocates representing 11 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America. • Suggested activities at the end of each chapter help readers create an advocacy plan and acquire the tools to conduct an advocacy campaign. • The role and effective use of social media in child advocacy is discussed, including a case study on how one child advocacy project uses social media. • Fundraising methods for advocacy are described, preparing readers to fundraise for their own child advocacy projects.
