Advocacy Toolkit
Informed people create better communities. What’s even better is when people – like you – take action at the local, state, and national level to improve your community and environment.
As a council, we strive to provide communities with the tools and resources it needs to build a healthier Ohio. Below you’ll find a variety of resources and guides for building support for your cause and using your voice to make a difference.
Access the full Advocacy Toolkit here, or by clicking on the image below. We are so excited to bring this resource to you – we encourage you to share it widely with friends, family, and anyone else looking to get involved!
