Advocacy & Social Services

By Katie Belcher

Advocacy Groups

These groups advocate for a variety of social issues.

Social Issue Organizations

They are similar to advocacy groups but“have more broadly defined…goals”(p. 380).

-Visible & Active

Advocacy & Social Issue Groups

Both of these use a variety of PR methods.

Advocacy Groups

The main methods that they use are:-Lobbying-Litigation-Demonstrations-Boycotts-Reconciliation

Social Service Organizations

Between looking up definitions & readingthe text, I came to some conclusions…

Social Service Organizations

They are easy to define in general terms…

-They offer services and advocacy

-They “include social service, philanthropic, cultural, and religious groups” (p. 382)

Social Service Organizations

But they are sometimes hard to define inspecific terms.

-Most are nonprofit

-However, some cultural organizations receive government funds. (e.g. Smithsonian)

Social Service Organizations

Social Services Organizations
