By signing up as an AFSP Field Advocate, you will be joining thousands of other volunteers who have agreed to build relationships with their members of Congress and state legislators to prevent suicide. You will receive several emails a month from your AFSP Public Policy Team in Washington, DC - updates on the latest news, events, and training opportunities so you can learn more about advocacy and public policy, and action alerts so you can know when and how to take action on the policy issues you care about. This opportunity can all be done from home with some opportunities for in-person volunteering if you would like to do so. We look forward to having you join our advocacy team!

Mission Statement
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is the leader in the fight against suicide. We fund research, offer educational programs, advocate for public policy, and support those affected by suicide.
Description
AFSP is a multifaceted organization made up of esteemed scientists, dedicated survivors of suicide loss, people with mental disorders and their families, and an expansive network of business and community leaders.
We are at once a grassroots movement, a support network, an educator, a professional research organization and a grant-making foundation.
We organize hundreds of events in communities across the country, raising millions of dollars each year to support our work, both locally and nationally. We advocate for social change, supporting policies that contribute to reducing and preventing suicides nationwide.
While AFSP does not provide direct services, such as counseling or running a crisis hotline, we do work closely with the organizations providing these services.
Through these many roles, we reach hundreds of thousands of people every year. Increasingly, the media has turned to AFSP as their go-to source of expertise on suicide and its prevention.
In collaboration with our volunteers and program participants, the following people help to make all of these things happen.
