Advocacy is an essential aspect of the role of counselor educators. The ACA Code of ethics defines advocacy as "promotion of the well-being of individuals, groups, and the counseling profession within systems and organizations. Advocacy seeks to remove barriers and obstacles that inhibit access, growth, and development" (ACA, 2014, p. 20). Within this context, counselors are ethically responsible for becoming agents of social change, intervening for counselor education trainees. One such way of becoming a change agent is taking intentional steps to ensure students have a sense of belonging to their program.
