Advocacy Outreach helps people and families succeed with the resources to take care of their own needs, both immediate and long-term, and helps them learn to advocate for themselves in the community, schools and the workplace.

Our Mission is to facilitate social change and justice through advocacy and a provision of services to the poor and disenfranchised in Bastrop County and surrounding rural areas.
