Art of Advocacy is patterned after Tae Kwon Do, but instead of belts we use wristbands, and we encourage celebrating when someone moves up to the next Band level
All new advocates start with a White wristband; a Yellow Band is earned by completing all of the items on the checklist for that level
The Yellow Band focuses primarily on personal advocacy, finding your voice, developing a trusted circle of supporters, and expressing what you need to live your best life
As you gain in advocacy skills you may transition into the higher Bands and doing system advocacy, but this is not for everyone and that’s okay
The Bands go from White to Black with Black being the highest
