The Advocacy Academy

THE ADVOCACY ACADEMY IS A HOME FOR GRASSROOTS YOUTH ORGANISING IN THE UK!

Living in an unjust world has directly shaped young people's lives, and we exist to turn their anger into action. We are a youth organising movement, based in Brixton since 2014, 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 experiences of injustice to achieve long-term systemic change for themselves and their communities. We combine formal instruction in social and economic systems, and practical training in community organising, and with the heart and soul of radical youth work.

We frequently hold campaign and community-based events, from Open Houses and Membership gatherings to Campaign Call-to-actions. We are always looking for multiple ways to root ourselves more deeply in our community.
