About this Event
Add to calendarLaunched in 2017, the Washington, DC Policy and Advocacy Fly-In is part of the UA School of Social Work’s Washington, D.C. Experiential Learning Program. The Fly-In is a two-day, in-depth experience in policy research, analysis, and advocacy. Students are trained in policy analysis and advocacy by experts from a variety of policy and advocacy organizations such as the National Association of Social Workers, the Council on Social Work Education, the Child Welfare League of America, and many others. Each student has two scheduled meetings with Congress members to advocate for specific legislation. Since its inception, hundreds of students from schools including The University of Alabama, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, The University of Alabama at Huntsville, Alabama State University, Simmons University, and The Ohio State University have participated in this valuable experience.
