Leesburg, FL — The AMAC Foundation announced a new partnership with the Leadership Institute to launch the Constitutional Advocacy Academy, a first-of-its-kind, year-long civic leadership program designed to equip AMAC members with the real-world skills needed to advocate effectively, lawfully, and confidently at every level of government.
Created specifically for engaged citizens who want to move beyond frustration and into meaningful action, the Constitutional Advocacy Academy offers AMAC members a unique opportunity to deepen their understanding of the U.S. Constitution, master the legislative process, and become trusted, credible advocates for the issues they care about most.
“This Academy is about turning passion into impact,” said Rebecca Weber, CEO of AMAC. “Our members are deeply invested in the future of this country. The Constitutional Advocacy Academy gives them the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to engage elected officials, influence policy, and lead in their communities—firmly grounded in constitutional principles and lawful advocacy.”
Unlike traditional advocacy training, the Constitutional Advocacy Academy begins with the constitutional legitimacy of citizen advocacy, reinforcing why the right to petition government is fundamental to self-governance. Participants then progress through a structured, three-phase curriculum that builds real-world fluency in how laws are made, how to communicate effectively with lawmakers, how to advocate ethically and legally, and how to grow grassroots influence without sacrificing civility or credibility.
Through monthly courses beginning in January 2026, AMAC members will learn how to:
- Engage confidently with Members of Congress and state legislators
- Communicate persuasively through letters, calls, meetings, and testimony
- Navigate lobbying rules and compliance requirements
- Research elected officials and prepare for impactful legislative meetings
- Build coalitions, mentor others, and lead civic engagement efforts locally
Participants who successfully complete the program will graduate with a Constitutional Advocacy Academy Diploma, recognizing their readiness to serve as informed, principled advocates and community leaders.
The Academy reflects the AMAC Foundation’s mission to strengthen civic literacy and empower citizens to play an active, constructive role in America’s constitutional system. Partnering with the Leadership Institute brings nationally recognized expertise in advocacy training, grassroots engagement, and leadership development to AMAC members nationwide.
“This program is about restoring confidence in citizen advocacy,” Weber added. “When citizens understand the process, respect the rule of law, and communicate with purpose, they can make a real difference. That is what the Constitutional Advocacy Academy is all about.”
This Constitutional Advocacy Academy is a great plan ,a great idea ! It is something that will encourage right, proper thoughts and right , proper action. In recent comments written on AMAC articles I have mentioned how important it is to raise the intelligence level of the Country in ways that will improve what needs improvement, increase knowledge needed in order to contribute to the sense of purpose responsible citizens should have about this Nation. There certainly is much to do in order to defend Liberty and to respect the principles that are at the foundation of the United States of America – Faith , Family,and Freedom . Just one example I would like to suggest that involves something very basic , but of great importance – that is Communication. The English language , English grammar I do believe is in jeopardy of being changed to suit the Internet version of the English language. The traditional English language,and the rules of grammar that accompany it is the home of United States history. If the next generation of Americans becomes unfamiliar with communication that is based on the pre – Internet or traditional English language then the possibility exists that United States history will be altered to fit the Internet version of English language and grammar. I do not believe that would turn out very well. In other words for those who find the use of all manner of Internet things necessary in their lives keep that language system in it’s right place. There is no place for it in other fields that were well established prior to the Internet. American History gives strength to all those who value what makes for good Character . Rebecca Weber wrote about this Constitutional Advocacy Academy in a way that should have right thinking American citizens enthusiastic about this project. In the spirit of God bless America,land of the free and home of the brave Best Wishes for the Academy !
