Join Us
Come together as a community of believers, following God's call to lift up the voices of the vulnerable and advocate with our elected officials — so that all children can have the fullness of life that God intended.
At World Vision’s 2022 Advocacy Camp, you’ll...
-
- Be inspired by World Vision's best storytellers and experts
- Build community with your fellow Advocates (you might even find a new best friend!)
- Grow your advocacy impact, so you’re empowered to continue the work God has called you to do
We'll worship, pray, learn, grow, and share all about what God is doing in and through us!
Friends and family are welcome! Invite anyone who supports your advocacy efforts or is interested in joining you in them. (Let us know and we’ll give you a special code for your guest!)
