Abstract	This article outlines a semester-long advocacy project that walks students through the steps to develop a successful advocacy campaign, culminating in a trip to the state capitol to "lobby" legislators. The manuscript provides faculty with the basic structure for the project and suggests gradable assignments. The project builds on the lessons learned from experiential learning theory and is anchored in five key pedagogical strategies: political discussion and deliberation, political research and action projects, invited speakers and program-affiliated mentors, external placements, and structured reflection. The goal of this course is to build students' political knowledge and advocacy skills to be better informed citizens and effective participants within the political arena. (As Provided).
