NW, Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20005, USMission StatementRESULTS is
a movement of passionate, committed everyday people. Together they
use their voices to influence political decisions that will bring
an end to poverty. Volunteers receive training, support, and
inspiration to become skilled advocates. In time, volunteers learn
to effectively advise policy makers, guiding them towards decisions
that improve access to education, health, and economic opportunity.
With every hour of their time, volunteers multiply their impact
through the enormous power of advocacy -- whether it's helping
change policy to support millions of families putting food on the
table or helping raise billions of dollars for the world's most
vulnerable children. Backed by the in-depth research and
legislative expertise of staff, RESULTS advocates realize the
incredible power they possess to use their voices to change the
world.DescriptionFor over 40 years, RESULTS and RESULTS Educational
Fund have been shining light on critical, effective solutions to
poverty. By combining the powerful voices of civic advocates with
research and oversight of U.S. anti-poverty efforts at home and
abroad, RESULTS has been changing government priorities and
people's lives."I saw RESULTS on VolunteerMatch, but I wasn't sure
what advocacy was. Before that, I wasn't really aware of the way
different government policies impacted me. But RESULTS gave me a
whole new perspective. I learned that if you want change, first you
need to see what members of Congress are doing and build
connections." - Yaseer Khanani"I became an advocate because I
wanted to be more involved in an organization that strives to make
positive change. I really appreciate how genuine and dedicated
everyone is to the RESULTS mission." - Sunjay Menon"At RESULTS, we
advocate for the issues that are close to my heart, like global
health, education, and poverty eradication. I get to talk about
issues that I witness throughout my professional and personal life.
I can effect change by raising my voice." - Shabina
