Who, or what, are Citizen Advocates?
Citizen Advocates are ordinary members of the public who volunteer to befriend an individual with a learning disability for the long term and then, if the need arises, help to represent their views and opinions. Their primary purpose is friendship rather than advocacy. Citizen Advocacy originally started in the USA.
