EXCITED TO APPLY?

If you are interested in applying please don’t hesitate to have a look at our current vacancies. We host regular meet and greets with the team both in-person and online so you can find out more about us and meet our team and our Alumni. Make sure to sign up for our next event or catch up on a recording from our most recent workshop.
 
Excited but feeling a bit unsure about if these roles are for you? Don’t worry! Sign up here to make sure you’re notified of any new role that’s posted, or speak to a staff member at a meet-and-greet to discuss more.
 
Finally, let’s also name the elephant in the room! Sometimes we all experience a bit of imposter syndrome. At the Advocacy Academy, we lean into this feeling. We believe that imposter syndrome is a manifestation of the oppression many of us face on a day to day. You don’t have to tick all the boxes for each role to apply. If you feel a pull towards a specific role and believe you could make a different we would love to hear from you!
