A large part of being a student activist is knowing the community you are a part of and who you can look to for assistance and partnerships. Nebraska is home to many different environmental groups that are always looking for young participants and volunteers. I personally have teamed up with the Sierra Club and BOLD Nebraska on a couple different projects and have friends who work fro the Nature Conservancy and Audubon Society. Most of these groups have national headquarters with local affiliates, though BOLD is strictly a Nebraskan organization. I decided to break these groups down a little further and provide the first step to getting in contact with these groups.
Look to future blog posts as I explore more opportunities and organizations that share the same Earth-loving goals!
This is a very useful graphic. I think one of the biggest barriers to getting involved in a cause is knowing who you can get involved with, and then how to contact them. -- Dave Ostdiek
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Dave. Especially for students who want to get involved, but don't have the resources or group of friends to really start being engaged.
DeleteLove this! Useful, visually appealing, creative, meets a consumer need, helps a cause. Great stuff.
