• Answer:

  You could be the executive director of a nonprofit organization that specializes in that,and as part of your job you could do a limited amount of lobbying. While you could start in the program office working with victims, you could also start in the fundraising office to raise money to pay for the programs. If you can raise money, you have a better chance of becoming the director. It helps to have a college degree. I wouldn't get a social work degree because that's limiting. Instead, I would work on a degree that included some business and management classes, but that was a broad education in sociology or political science. Volunteer with an organization and meet some executive directors: you'll find they have a broad range of backgrounds.
