Subject:        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!
 
Best regards,
