Find an advocate

The Find an Advocate tool has been integral to PovNet’s goal of connecting people. When it first launched, it was to connect advocates working outside of Vancouver with others and with up to date resources. Today that remains to be the case, as advocates working in small or rural communities often work in isolation. Find an Advocate is also helpful for people who need assistance from a legal advocate, as it allows them to find one that is nearest to them or one that serves people provincially.

HOW TO USE THE FIND AN ADVOCATE TOOL

1. Click the button with the magnifying glass that says “Search”

2. You can enter your town or enter a certain issue you need help with (example: housing, family, on-reserve)

3. To see more information about a listing click on the circular picture or the name of the service. This will open a box that will give you a description of services and contact information to connect with an advocate.

4. If you’re having any issues with finding an advocate, or see outdated information, please email [email protected].
