Help engage students with the Campus Election Engagement Project

RE: increasing the student vote in Washington or perhaps Montana—reaching out to our colleges and universities through the Campus Election Engagement Project. Founded by award-winning Soul of a Citizen author Paul Loeb, the non-partisan CEEP works through the state affiliates of the major national service learning network, Campus Compact, like Washington Compact and Montana Compact to help schools use their extensive resources to assist their students in registering to vote, getting educated on the issues, volunteering in the campaigns, and showing up at the polls.  

Your role with the project will be to reach out to college and university administrators, faculty and staff, building on the strong and ongoing relationships that we have with colleges and universities in our state.  You’ll be coached, mentored, and trained by our excellent staff, and by CEEP’s national staff, focusing on how to engage these administrators, faculty and staff using CEEP-created resource lists of effective nonpartisan ways schools can help their students get involved. You’ll build on these resources and relationships to help schools implement powerful engagement approaches like: 
•	Distributing templates for student IDs that pass the requirements of challenging new voter laws, enabling students to register and vote without needing to purchase a state ID;
•	Ensuring that new students get registered at first-year orientation;
•	Broadcasting voter registration and election information links via QR codes on the Jumbotron at football games;
•	Including links to Rock the Vote’s registration tool in online event ticketing and course registration systems, and having campus IT departments distribute a new election information Smartphone app
•	Collaborating with campus newspaper advisors to help student newspapers distribute nonpartisan voter guides.
•	For residential campuses, encouraging “dorm storms,” where Residence Life works with Student Activities and Campus Safety to temporarily relax normal security rules so student groups can register students door to door in the dorms.

Key learning benefits include:
•	Helping students make a major difference by turning out to vote; 
•	Being supervised provided by the excellent staff of our state Campus Compact affiliate;
•	Participating in conference calls and being coached and mentored by Paul Loeb and associate coordinator Jonathan Romm (who helped run North Carolina Compact’s CEEP efforts in 2008);
•	The chance to learn valuable skills from the lessons and examples of a high-functioning team. 
If you’re interested, please contact Campuselect@gmail.com with your resume or other description of your background, including any community outreach projects you’ve been involved with. You’d be working with Washington Compact or Montana Compact, but wouldn’t have to physically come into their offices in Bellingham and Missoula.

We'd think this is a powerful opportunity to help make a major difference while gaining valuable skills, taking a leadership role in helping America’s 20 million students participate in the fall elections. 
 . 
Desired Qualifications 
•	Motivated self-starter who is comfortable working via online and email formats and with telephone outreach;
•	Excellent organization, written and oral communication skills
•	Effective time management skills; 
•	And passion for social justice, service, and civic engagement.

Guidelines from 2008 for How Staffers and Volunteers Will Reach Out to the Schools

Since many of you are thinking about ways to work with the Bonner interns, I thought I’d pull together an overview of how most state Compacts approached their 2008 outreach.  Staffing approaches varied widely, with some Compacts dividing the tasks between existing staff, and others hired additional people for their outreach efforts, primarily recent graduates or grad students who they’d already been working with. Colorado Compact shifted administrative assistant Lauren Alweis to do great work on the project, while hiring someone to replace Lauren’s other tasks.  Youth Service America, which worked with Virginia schools, since there’s no Virginia Compact, had excellent success using interns through the summer and then keeping one on with outside funds. They might be a model for how to draw on the Bonners. 

So here are some suggestions for staffers working on the project:

Approach the schools and build a plan. 
Between the Compact website, which we’re updating, the updated campus engagement checklist and other materials we’ll be sending out, and the websites of partners like the Fair Election Legal Network’s Campus Vote Project and the student PIRGS New Voters Project, there are a host of resources to help campuses conduct nonpartisan efforts to register their students to vote, help them think through relevant issues, and encourage them to volunteer in the campaigns, whatever their political beliefs. So skim the resources on these sites, or wait for our updated checklists and other resources that summarize what schools can do.

Then begin with member schools who you’re already working with, drawing on existing relationships and current contacts.  Add in high-enrollment campuses that aren’t Compact members because engaging their students is still important, and the relationships this project builds could encourage them to become members later. Send out new resources to your lists (like one I’m working on about things schools can do his spring), and use them as opportunities for follow up phone calls. Learn your state voting rules—even more critical this time because of new requirements and restrictions. If you’re unsure you can check the League of Women Voters site excellent www.vote411.org for updates and contact The Lawyer’s Committee on Civil Rights (cfields@lawyerscommittee.org ) if you have any questions. It’s also useful to create an election information section of your website to which you can refer schools, spelling out election-related requirements and deadlines, and offering relevant resources.

Integrate into current activities — then expand their efforts.   
When you do start contacting your campuses, send them any useful resources, but also see what efforts are already going on, which offices are already involved, and which need to be engaged. Identify gaps in current efforts and share relevant resources. Ideally, you’ll find a key individual or group to help get things going at each school and can brainstorm with them on how they can enlist the support they’ll need. Establish a primary contact person on each campus, along with a backup contact. This person could have an obvious campus role–for instance, the service- learning director, a staffer in the president’s or provost’s office, or the American Democracy Project contact if they’re a member school. But it could also be any faculty, staff member, or even student leader who has the enthusiasm and campus knowledge to make something happen. Suggest they assemble a broad enough and energetic enough team to be able to contact all key departments and offices.

Stay in touch. Once you’ve made your initial contacts you can move on to other schools, but remember to send reminders to those taking the lead — persistently enough to move things forward, but gently enough not to annoy people. If a key department or office resists, remember that postsecondary institutions are legally required to do their best to distribute voter registration forms to each degree- or certificate-seeking student they enroll, so they’re helping them to take that mandate seriously. Remind them of key deadlines, referring to sites like Vote411.org for info on national and statewide candidates and campaigns. Pass on the resources of our outside partners, like the election-related Smartphone application that the Lawyer’s Committee on Civil Rights is finishing up, and the online registration tool of Rock the Vote. Make sure those who’ve offered to engage their campus are actually proceeding along the path they’ve mapped out.

Begin now, then step up your efforts in the appropriate time frame.  If possible, begin contacting schools this spring, particularly on time-sensitive actions like having students register to vote while advance registering for fall classes. You’ll then want to spend the summer helping schools plan all their engagement approaches for fall, so they can hit the ground running when students return (some people will be away, but they’ll still  be less hectic than in the heart of the academic year). The process of engaging students in the election will shift into overdrive once students return, particularly as state registration deadlines approach. So the more you can help set in motion beforehand, the better your campuses will be able to engage them. Encourage schools you contact to pay particular attention to time-dependent opportunities like voter registration efforts that are tied to first-year orientation or to the periods in spring and fall when students are registering and reregistering for classes. 

Encourage campuses to help students educate themselves on the issues and to volunteer — whatever their political views. As your contacts are ensuring that students register, they can also create opportunities for them to help students educate themselves on issues and candidates through classroom discussions, public forums and debate-watch parties, and nonpartisan candidate guides like the ones that Rock the Vote will make available.

We also want to help them act on their political choices whichever campaigns they choose to support. This involvement can be particularly important, because once students start volunteering in these kinds of efforts, they tend to continue throughout their lives. You can help by giving out the websites and phone numbers of relevant national and local campaigns and helping students connect with groups like the College Republicans and College Democrats. If students feel that the winner of their state is a foregone conclusion, they can volunteer with national campaigns by calling voters in other states. While the first priority is to make sure each school registers all eligible students, the second is to engage students with this election in all other ways they can, whatever their political beliefs.  

Get help if you need it. From mid-April on, Jonathan Romm will be available to help walk you through any particular challenges (jsromm@gmail.com) with coaching new staffers one of his top priorities, since he’s already been through this working on the project for North Carolina Compact in 2008. Project coordinator Paul Loeb (paul@paulloeb.org) can also help coach you as questions come up. Kyle Bohland, who ran our Ohio efforts wonderfully, then trained several other states, will also be available for periodic conference call advice once we begin to assemble a team of participants, as will Paul’s part-time Erica Kay, who ran the day-to-day conference calls and did most of the coaching last time, but will be somewhat limited because of a new full-time job.  If your Compact was involved before but you’ve had a change of staff, you might also want to talk to the previous person who handled it, since most did a wonderful job, and look in your archives for still-relevant previous materials. You can also check out archived materials on the Yahoo Groups site (login 2012campusvoteproject@gmail.com, password: engagestudents)

To sum up your challenge:
Initiate
•	Familiarize yourself with what campuses can do, using the checklist and website resources. We’re updating all our examples, categories, and links (and the general navigation), but a quick skim can will give you a sense of what’s possible. 
•	Pull together your initial contact list from people you already work with. Later, we’ll connect you with faculty or staff who’ve volunteered from other organizations and Paul’s personal listserv.
•	Contact key administrators, faculty, and student leaders at each campus, and share available resources.
•	Identify current initiatives and respond to potential gaps.
•	Help participants develop an action plan, using the wealth of available resources.
•	Brainstorm with them on how they can navigate campus bureaucracies and get critical disciplines and departments out of their isolated silos.
•	Provide them with new resources as you receive them, and pass their innovative ideas on to the broader network.
Encourage
•	Follow up with earlier contacts to see how things are developing.
•	Help refine ideas and programs — pass on ideas from other campuses.
•	Spread relevant new materials, such as candidate and initiative information.
•	Funnel innovative ideas to Jonathan to pass on through the network 
•	 Keep touching back with people who are involved — coach them through the home stretch.
Reflect
•	After the election, collect useful information and particularly effective practices from participating schools and pass them on for next time.

Our Campus Election Engagement Project worked wonderfully in 2008. We expect even more for 2012

efforts in marketing and social media to fuel the movement of giving.
Who we are:
TisBest Philanthropy is a nonprofit organization that is fueling the giving movement by creating new ways for
individuals and businesses to connect and support the charities and causes they believe in. We’ve raised over $1.5
million for charity in less than three years. We are the No. 1 rated producer of “Charity Gift Cards.” With a Charity
Gift Card the gift giver makes a charitable donation and the gift recipient gets to choose which charity receives the
money. TisBest is experiencing 50% annual growth, even in this challenging economy. Our office is located just
south of downtown two blocks from Safeco Field & Qwest Stadium in the SoDo district.
Who we’re looking for:
- Passion for giving and changing the world – You regularly give of your time, talent, and/or resources to causes
you believe in.
- Tech Savvy – You have friends, followers, and readers that check in on your updates, tweets, likes, and posts.
- Enjoy the Creative Process – You like coming up with new ideas and brainstorming solutions to problems.
- Versatile Communicator – You communicate effectively in 140 characters, over the phone, and in person.
- Flexible – You work fluidly between short-term and long-term projects.
- Curious and Focused – You ask questions and work efficiently once you have the answers.
What you’ll be doing:
- Assist with fueling our giving movement through Social Media:
o We’ll fill you in on what we are about and work together to continue to mold our strategy for
reaching out to our social media community.
o You will spend time researching, developing, and posting content of interest to you and relevant to
our supporters on our Twitter, Facebook, Blog pages, e-blasts, and e-newsletters.
o You will also work on finding bloggers who are dialed into the giving movement and help develop
strategies to engage them and their readers.
- Help us figure out what we don’t yet know about our supporters and competitors:
o You bring a fresh set of eyes and new ideas on what we do well and what we could do better. We’ll
have you cruise the charity gift card world and fill us in on what you find along the way.
o We’d like you to have a look at our tracking mechanisms and data on who our customers are then
help us draw some conclusions and discuss what you find.
- Develop and write stories profiling our supporters:
o Our customers support the giving movement through TisBest for a number of reasons, and we’d
like your help in telling their stories.
o You’ll help lead our story development efforts which means talking with and emailing with some of
the fine individuals and companies who use TisBest.

amazing charity partners.
o You’ll also be a part of identifying new charities and learn about building strategic partnerships that
will increase funding and awareness for their causes.
- Help with a bit of the “other stuff”
o We’re a small nonprofit that looks an awful lot like a small business which means we all wear a lot
different hats. We answer our own phones, make our own copies, and brew our own coffee. So
while there may be times we ask you to do some seemingly less important tasks, we’ll work hard to
explain why what you’re doing is important so you’ll know we’re not just trying to keep you busy.
What’s in it for you:
- Real, portfolio/resume-enhancing, get-you-a-job-when-you-graduate sort of experience

The Snohomish County Vikings, a minor league football team (semi pro
football), is a member of the Northwest Football League (which has been
around for 40 years) and a Washington State and federally registered non
profit group helping to bring aid to those in need in the greater Snohomish
County area. We hope to enrich the lives of young men that have not gone
onto college to help develop and maintain their skills in order to possibly
attend college with a scholarship. Even if they do not get a scholarship, we
are encouraging them to continue their education. We teach teamwork, and how
to support your local community, among other things. For those who have
attended college, it is our hope that some may be blessed to go onto a
higher level of football. Or possibly they can just enrich the lives of
their teammates with the knowledge they bring from the sport they all love.
Our talents on the gridiron are provided voluntarily so that others may
benefit from our success.
 
 
 
Our organization sees no gender, age, religious, ethnic or social economic
barriers except that you have to be at least 18 years old to participate.
(Yes, we had a girl on our team an offensive line gal!) We primarily serve
all of Snohomish County, north King County as well as South Skagit County,
but there is no geographical barrier either. We have had men come from as
far away as Vancouver BC to be part of our team. Our community work is
primarily within our own community, Snohomish County, although with our work
with the Toys for Tots charity game we know we are benefiting children on
the Western side of the Cascade Mountains. We have over numerous years
contributed to VOA with fundraising and donated the money we have received
towards to food banks of Snohomish County. Last count was over $70,000.00.
We also have food drives every year. We have attended local hospitals to
spread cheer to sick or injured children, we have raised funds for hurricane
and other relief along with money for drug abuse awareness. With each person
we help, whether it is directly a teammate or a community member, we know
that "pay it forward" is a great possibility. When our members work with
youth in the peewee sector, we are working with hundreds of children. A lot
of coaches that are coaching peewee football in Snohomish County have some
sort of present or past association with the Snohomish County Vikings. It is
unimaginable how many lives we have affected in the 16 years of our
existence.
 
 
 
In addition we encourage the youth to attend college, this is another reason
why we retain stats and film. Just this past year, we have had several of
our players return to college. Last year, we had one of our former players
graduate from WSU and was waiting to be drafted into the NFL. It is our
dream to be able to start a college scholarship program for kids who want to
further their education and qualify for a scholarship.
 
 
 
Another thing we have done is teaching men the positive ways they can
improve their life and others lives by giving back to their community. We
have done this by encouraging higher education, teaching the positive ways
of life and focusing on mentoring others to see that life cycles change.
 
 
 
Head Coach, Wes Fischer, owns the Snohomish County Vikings. Fischer was a
Snohomish High School graduate of 1964. In 1965, he himself played semi pro
football, then became a player/owner and eventually a coach. He is well
known in the Wrestling community as a High School wrestling coach who
retired last year from Sultan High School. He started wrestling in 1959, and
then when he graduated in 1964 became a wrestling referee and then started
coaching. When he retired from wrestling, he had dedicated 49 years to the
sport.
 
 
 
Why does Wes do this? It is simple, his high school football coach, Dick
Armstrong, made a difference in his life. He insists that it is because he
wants to make a difference in one person's life. Wes Fischer is a very
humble man, who is loved by most everyone he meets. In 1998 and 1999 Wes
Fischer was honored as coach of the year in the NWFL. In 2002 KCPQ Channel
13 honored him as an unsung hero for this commitment to the youth of the
community. In addition in April of 2003, The Herald awarded him the Larry
Hanson Community MVP of Snohomish County for this continued contribution to
athletics and to the community. Following soon afterwards, he was elected
into the Semi pro Hall of Fame along side some notable people such as Former
NFL greats, Vince Lombardi and Bill Walsh.
 
 
 
Ask a retired or veteran player on the Snohomish County Vikings if they know
Wes Fischer. The common response would be " Wes? I love the man; he is like
a second father to me. I also know he loves me in return. We are all
family."
 
 
 
The Vikings are not newcomers to tragedy. This past season was very
traumatic, as The Snohomish County Vikings lost one of their players,
31-year-old Jeff Berry a Snohomish High School graduate died from heart
attack in November of 2008. On October 28, 2008 at the end of the Toys For
Tots Charity game, which turned out to be Jeff?s last game, Wes spoke to his
players in the family huddle; "look around at each other, as one of you may
not be back, remember the faces of your brothers. Love the relationships you
have made. This is important.? He didn't realize how prolific his words were
to be.
 
 
 
By the way, we have been in existence since 1993 and it is our greatest wish
that more people did know about us!

want to view the website in CA and click on media as they also do video
coverage, the website is http://www.ncflfootball.com/. If you know of any
video clubs we would certainly like that information passed on, if you
could! Because we are a non profit, we are only able to pay a nominal
amount.

WashPIRG (Public Interest Research Group) Internship Program

Put your education to work by solving real social problems with WashPIRG this semester!

With a WashPIRG internship, you can get course credit and learn skills like how to work with the media, research policy issues, and organize support for a campaign.  These internships are excellent resume builders, and will build skills and experience relevant to any degree program.  We are looking for students who are motivated, energetic, creative and who want to make real social change.  Internships are offered every quarter.

To apply, contact Meg Gardner, WashPIRG campus organizer, at 206-543-9628, or by email at meg@washpirgstudents.org.  

Campaign Internships available:

Higher Education Funding:
Washington State has proposed cutting funding to the University of Washington by 13%.  A 13% cut in the state’s total higher education budget would have a significantly negative impact on higher education. It would create larger class sizes, fewer programs and fewer students as well.  We are working with student groups across the state to make sure our state legislators, the governor, members of Congress, and the president-elect hear our voices and mitigate funding cuts to higher education.  

100 Days to Cool the Planet:
Everyone knows that global warming is one of the most serious problems facing our generation.  The good news is that we already have the solutions that we need to solve global warming.  Not only that, but President- elect Obama has said he wants to create jobs all over the country to “Repower America” by switching to clean renewable energy!  Unfortunately there are powerful interests- oil companies like Exxon and utility companies who stand in the way of this change.  So we are working to make sure that Congress stands up to these powerful interests and passes a visionary renewable energy law within the first hundred days of the new Obama administration that will stop global warming AND Stimulate the economy (that gives us until April 30th).  We are going to hold creative events every month (including signing a giant windmill) to get media attention and invite Congressperson Jim McDermott to be a 100 Days Climate Hero.  We will also continue to lead the way here by making UW more energy efficient and educating students about the things WE can do to cut our global warming footprint.

Affordable Textbooks
As we all know, textbooks are expensive!  And with the rising costs of tuition, textbooks create another financial burden for students.  The textbook market is a broken one because the consumers (students) don’t have a choice in the product we are buying.  This year, we are going to be working on promoting the use of open textbooks by professors which are textbooks published online for free, and build the support of these textbooks through the UW Bookstore and Administration.  We hope to have several faculty members using these innovative texts by the spring quarter!

Hunger & Homelessness
We are the richest country in the world and yet there are 8,500 people in King County each night without food to eat or a bed to sleep in.  We are raising this issue on campus in order to make students aware of the ease and importance of solving this problem by getting involved in the community.  This year will be hosting a Hunger Cleanup- a day of volunteer action- where we will go out into the community to work, and at the same time raise money $10,000!  We will also be pledging 100 hours of volunteerism to go along with Obama’s call to service.  We need to come together and resolve to fight poverty!

Seattle Audubon seeks a volunteer Project Manager for the Centennial Book and Oral History Projects

The Project Manager will be the prime coordinator of the two main projects of Seattle Audubon’s History Committee: the oral history project and the Seattle Audubon Centennial book project. The oral history and book projects will primarily run independently, but coordination of these projects as well as the other projects are necessary. The Project Manager will assist in recruiting volunteers for research and presentation, as well as interact with the Executive Director to assist in developing budget requests. The Project Manager will prepare the meeting agendas and chair the meetings. Time requirement will vary depending on the role the Project Manager adopts. As a coordinator, only a few hours a month are needed. If the Project Manager also takes on research, writing, and/or presentation work, the hours could increase substantially. The workload should increase as we near 2016. Currently the History Committee meets quarterly for two hours.

The Project Manager should be an organized self-starter who has an interest in documenting and presenting the interesting history of Seattle Audubon. Experience in such projects, including presentation of the results, would be a substantial bonus.

Please contact Jen Mullen, Volunteer Coordinator, jenm@seattleaudubon.org or 206.523.8243 x 12, for additional information.

The following is a request for a Communication Intern to work in a non-paid capacity during Fall Quarter, 2008.   The intern will be working directly with the Regional Development Director and with the Communications Director.

Name of Organization:  Olive Crest Homes and Services for Abused Children

Contact Person:  Paula Head, Communications Director

Address:  515 116th Ave. NE   Bellevue, WA  98004

Phone:  425.462.1612, ext 1314

Email and website:  paula-head@olivecrest.org      www.olivecrest.org

Approximate number of hour per week:   24 – 40

Is the intern paid:  No

Relative areas of daily interest will include community awareness raising efforts associated with public relations and marketing. The intern will have exposure to many facets of the organization and will have a role in the solicitation of in-kind donations. Through active participation in support group meetings, the intern will have an opportunity to experience how valuable a strong volunteer base is to a nonprofit.  Monthly and quarterly newsletter content formulation and writing will also be emphasized.

 
Compassion for foster children and the desire to improve their quality of life are two qualities that are desired.  A basic understanding of foster care would be helpful, but not essential.  Prior community service experience would also be helpful, but not essential.  An intern with a strong interest in marketing and public relations would be really wonderful.


Keeping abreast of the most current statistics available is a very important task within any agency which seeks public and private support.  The intern would be involved in that role through various means, which would include, but not be limited to:  internet research, government agency research, interviews with case managers of Olive Crest and other key staff.  Writing newsletter stories will also involve interviewing staff and perhaps foster parents. 

The student should submit two writing samples and a resume.

Orientation will consist of a series of one-on-one meetings with staff members of all capacities.  The intern will have a thorough knowledge of all staff roles and responsibilities.  

The student will meet at least once a week with the Communications Director to review deadlines and meetings for that week.  Frequent communication and an open door policy are in place for the student.  Questions are expected and encouraged!

similar services. In doing so, this project will open doors to jobs and

Research project # 2 - Horse Hoarding & Collecting

We are currently writing a grant to form a task force to study the issue
of collecting and hoarding of horses.  Hoarding is a recognized
psychological problem that has OCD and addictive components.  There has
not been a lot written about this problem as it relates to horse owners. 

We would like to form a team composed of several disciplines to study the
problem specifically as it relates to horses.  Questions that will be
considered by this group would include - what is the impact on the horse
(e.g. insufficient socialization, limited freedom or lack of movement,
starvation and other forms of neglect), psychological components relating
to the person (addictive or compulsive behavior, economic stress,
compassion fatigue), impact on the environment (unhealthy or unsanitary
conditions, should horses be licensed?)

Hope For Horses works exclusively with horses that have been neglected, abused, or abandoned by their owners.  Because of this, we do not accept donated or forfeited horses.  Our mission is to rehabilitate and re-home these horses in safe and loving environments.  We endorse responsible horse ownership and carefully screen potential fosters and adopters.

Hope for Horses is a 501(c)(3) organization ( non-profit).

Website Design and Content Management

The goal of this project is to re-design HFH's website by using tools
that are easy to maintain by relatively unskilled volunteers.  Our
current website can be viewed at www.hopeforhorses.net.  The content is
out of date, largely because we do not have a dedicated webmaster, but
also because the proprietary content management system is cumbersome to
use.  We would like a site that is very simple to navigate, has no more
than 6 or 8 main pages, and can manage lots of photographs, a few forms,
and data that changes often (at least weekly). 

The project is best suited to a marketing, communications, or IT major. 
The redesign should take no more than a month, and the updates take
approximately one-two hours per week.  This project could be managed by
one or more students, and requires access to the Internet.

Research Survey - Rise in Number of Abandoned & Neglected Horses

The goal of this project is to gather statistics as well as anecdotal
evidence of the rise in number of horses being reported as neglected,
abused, or abandoned across the country; and to classify the reasons for
those reports (e.g. financial vs. uneducated/unskilled owners).  This
information will be used to develop a grant aimed at reducing the problem
specifically in Washington, and to create a model for other states. 

The project could take 30-90 days to complete and could be done by more
than one student.  Access to Internet and telephone resources are
required.

I'm Lynn Neil, the Women's Show Director for the St. Luke's Women's
Fitness Celebration in Boise, Idaho.

I need some assistance in finding a GREAT intern/interns for the
Celebration. The position has been listed on various university web
sites, however, due to the association with St. Luke's, the applicants
are coming from the health services department but what I REALLY NEED IS
A MARKETING/PR/EVENT person.  First and foremost, we are a business that
produces an event.  We are looking for an intern who might have career
interests in the fields of Advertising, Public Relations, Marketing,
Sales, Event Planning or Sports Promotion.  The intern will have an
opportunity to interact in the Boise community with Art Directors, media
(TV-Radio-Print), AV Production companies, Event Planning logistics and
sponsors of our event.  I want to create a special project for the
intern/interns which would include a marketing/outreach program to
Canyon County to bring in more 5K participants.  This is real-world
experience with dead-lines, budgets and an opportunity to get  hands-on
training to go out and start a career.

The St. Luke's Women's Fitness Celebration is a five-day event
encompassing Woman in Business, a two-day Women's Consumer Show and a 5K
Run, Walk and Stroll.  Currently, it is the largest, all-women event of
it's kind in the United States! Our consumer show attendance is over
25,000 people and the 5K had 12,500 participants this year. Now in it's
16th year, we are the most anticipated event in September in Boise. Our
web site is www.celebrateall.org.

I would like to find a hard working intern/interns with the following
skills and interests:

1. Strong writing skills for press releases, articles and brochure
content.
2. Product launches
3. Event production
4. Marketing and promotions
5. Advertising

Although we are under the umbrella of St. Luke's Regional Medical
Center, our department has nothing to do with health care. Also, the
intern does not need to be a runner.

In the past, we have had stellar interns from BSU, U of I, BYU,
Albertson's College and NNU so I am hoping you can make a recommendation
and expand our net-work of Celebration Intern Alumni. Could you please
post this announcement to your department web site or if you send out
group e-mails to your students, please include this. 

 Thank you for your help in finding a great intern and I appreciate
your time.

Sincerely,

Lynn Neil

...volunteer and internship opportunities we have available, some of which involve fundraising, communications, and marketing. Though not all are
department-related opportunities, NEDA is a wonderful organization with a
great cause and I would love to let college students know about our
organization and what we have available, especially since 1 of 4 girls in
college have eating disorders.

Noel House Programs is the largest women-only shelter services provider in King County.  As a non-profit, the continued provision of these crucial services depends in large part on raising funds from Seattle community members.  While we hold regular fundraising events, we realize that we have left the online world more or less untapped.
      
   
   We would like to utilize social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook to develop greater awareness and interest in our programs, in addition to making online donations possible.  For a tech-savvy student interested in mass communications – particularly in online communications and micro-fundraising – this would be an incredibly great opportunity to add to their résumés and to spend some time working for a wonderful organization.
      
   
   This position would grant an interested student with an immense amount of creative flexibility, as they would be able to build the online profiles from scratch.  We are very interested in collaboration and definitely welcome fresh perspectives on our work.  As an added benefit, the student would be able to create their own schedule and could accomplish much of the work from home.
      
   
   The position requires a commitment of no more than 10 hours a month and I cannot stress enough what a great résumé-builder this is.  The flexible hours make it a great opportunity for busy students to gain volunteer work experience and collect a letter of recommendation from a highly respected Seattle non-profit.
