HMONG NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Advocacy and civic engagement - hnd advocates on behalf of hmong american communities at the national level. Hnd reviews advocacy as a tool to raise the visibility of the hmong american community and its issues to policy makers, legislators, and key stakeholders. We do this through two approaches: policy advocacy and civic engagement activities. This comprehensive approach to civic engagement and policy advocacy allows hnd to narrow its focus in addressing emerging challenges and issues faces by hmong american communities across the united states. The backbone of this program is guided by the principle of affecting long term social change that cultivates the development of the individual, the family, the organization, and the community in the united states.
