To advocate is to support or speak in favor of something. When you advocate for United Way, you show your support for the common good. You let people know that you care about making positive changes in Tampa Bay. For many, advocating will be word of mouth. For others, it’s simply wearing the LIVE UNITED shirt. For some, it will be sharing your story on Facebook or Twitter. Or writing a letter to the editor or speaking up in a community forum about how to make a better Bay.

Advocate is also about government engagement. United Way of Tampa Bay and United Way Worldwide are involved in many aspects of public policy. Find out more by clicking on public policy.
