Publicly Funded Programs

What Publicly Funded Programs Can Legally Do

You work for an adult education program that receives state or federal funds. Can you educate legislators on adult education issues? Can you advocate for adult education and literacy? Can you lobby? Visit What You Can Legally Do to learn the differences between educating, advocating, and lobbying—and what that means for you in your unique situation.

For more information, visit Guidelines for Advocacy, an online resource from the National Council of State Directors of Adult Education (NCSDAE) that provides information for public employees and nonprofits on what they can and cannot do.

Professional Development
