A program of Kutoa FoundationAdvocates

How Advocates run

So, what do Advocates actually do?

Serve. Lead. Advocate. Fundraise. Connect. Grow. In person. Once a month, everyone. That’s how the network runs.

01

Join

One form. You are in the national network — even if your school does not have a chapter yet.

02

Show up

In person at your chapter. Once a month, everyone in the network — same night.

03

Serve

Local nights when a chapter hosts. Kutoa projects either way. Hours get verified.

04

Lead

After six months as an Advocate, officer and national roles open. Title follows work.

05

Build

Start a chapter. Run a campaign when Nathan has your form. Put a new pin on the map.

01

Serve

Hands-on projects in your city and through Kutoa. Verified hours. People who actually remember your name.

02

Lead

Run a chapter. Organize a campaign. After six months as an Advocate, apply for officer and national roles.

03

Advocate

Workshops. Civic rooms. Speakers. Learn to use your voice for people who need it — on Zoom and in person.

04

Fundraise

Nathan sets up your chapter’s form. Your chapter president attaches it. You share that one link.

05

Connect

In person at your chapter. Once a month, everyone in the network. Guest speakers. A network bigger than one city.

06

Grow

Year-end, a few names. National leadership after six months. The selective retreat.
