Become an Advocate - Metropolitan Family Services

Connect. Advocate. Lead.

Advocacy Day 2018 was a success! Read a recap and view photos here.

Let’s keep the momentum going by spreading the word about Metropolitan’s programs and services with our online networks and our legislators. Here’s how you can help:

Join Metropolitan’s online #SeaOfOrange! Show your friends and family – and your legislators! – how Metropolitan #Mpowers you.

Step 1: Download and print our Metropolitan Mpowers sign
Step 2: Finish the sentence starter (“Metropolitan #Mpowers me to…”) on the sign – black marker works best
Step 3: Take a selfie with your sign and post it on social media! Be sure to tag @MetroFamChicago and use the hashtag #SeaOfOrange

When you’re done …

Share your photo with us!

Once you've shared your Metropolitan Mpowers photo on social media, please share it with us as well! We'll be featuring our favorites on our blog.
