Become an Advocate

Connect. Advocate. Lead.

Mpower your community by spreading the word about Metropolitan’s programs and services with your online networks and legislators! Here’s how you can help:

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 us @MetroFamChicago.

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.

Submit an Impact Statement

Impact Statements help us demonstrate how our programs make a difference in our communities. We will share these statements with legislators so they can better understand why Metropolitan Family Services is important to you. We may also use them in our own communications.
