Oxfam's looking
for student leaders - Apply by April 2nd!
Oxfam America is now accepting applications
for its 2012 CHANGE Initiative. CHANGE is Oxfam’s national
student leadership program for rising sophomores and juniors. It provides
leadership and advocacy training and prepares students to promote social
change locally and globally. CHANGE Leaders are exposed to the international
development issues that inform Oxfam's work, and apply their skills and
creativity to run Oxfam campaigns on campus.
CHANGE Leaders: § Have
access to expert skills based training, resources, materials and year-round
support from Oxfam staff;
§ Establish
connections and share knowledge with college students from the US and beyond;
§ Form
positive attitudes and establish connections between their local and global
communities;
§ Recognize
their own leadership identity;
§ Develop
confidence and the skills to effect positive, lasting social change, and
§ Are
part of an active and growing, global network of peers and alumni working
on social justice issues.
Applications are due April 2, 2012.
Selected students participate in a week-long training in Boston, July
21-27, 2012, which is organized and paid for by Oxfam. Students must
agree to work with a student club and implement an Oxfam campaign on campus
during the 2012-13 academic year, as well as communicate regularly with
Oxfam staff about their work. Each year 50 students are selected from US-based
colleges and universities across the U.S. To learn more about the CHANGE
Initiative, visit www.oxfamamerica.org/change.
If you have questions about CHANGE, or want to request materials to promote
this opportunity, please be in touch.
Thanks for your support in promoting this
program to students you know!
