Volunteer for Kids Television Show

Have you found yourself wondering what to do with your creative energy?
Are you able to organize invoices then look at a pile of cables? 
Do you see perfection and order in a space filled with randomness?
 
We have asked ourselves these questions many times. Then we discovered a need to help filling these roles plus many more. We are a Seattle-based video production company who is producing the first season of an educational kids television show.  Are you the right volunteer for the job?  
 
 We would like to find the right mix of an individual who has a real focus on organization, systems, and attention to detail.  One minute we need you to think big about data flows and operational efficiencies then potentially jump into a field production-related role. Being detailed oriented and punctual will be a key to success in this role for us.  
  
Do you know the difference between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios?

Can you sit in front of a computer for hours on end logging video clips with extreme detail?
 
Do you speak three languages while typing another?

If you can fill these we would like to talk with you. Two out of three isn't bad either.

The Dream Project is a student-initiated, student-led program that partners UW students with first-generation and low-income students from local high schools, as they navigate through the college admissions process. We also coordinate an annual event called Admissions Workshop Weekend at which high school students can come to our campus and receive help on their college application process, which will be taking place the weekend of November 19 and 20 this year. Ideally, students will have the opportunity to work one on one with a mentor/tutor to provide support and make sure they are on track with the college application process. These high school students will gain a strong understanding of the college application process and craft quality applications and essays. From years past, many of our students complete their entire college applications over the course of this weekend. You will find that this is a rewarding community experience when you witness the accomplishment of !
  these students in one weekend. That is why we need your help! For further details please contact us at marcus08@uw.edu or thompt2@uw.edu.

I work with a local public relations firm in Seattle called Colehour+Cohen.  We are seeking six UW students to participate in a media event happening on Monday, November 21, from 8:30am - 11:30am.  Below is a summary of the event.
 
To get Pacific Northwest residents ready for winter driving we will host a competition where University of Washington students will compete against Washington State University students to see how quickly they can correctly put chains on six  cars.  Andy Wappler, Take Winter By Storm spokesperson and Meteorologist will be on-hand to talk about how the public can get prepared for another wet and wild winter and Les Schwab representatives will serve as ?safety? judges.
 
KCPQ?s Morning Show would like to go live starting at 7:00am. Then, at 10:30am we would host a media event for a live ?chain-up? competition for all press.
 
The focal point of the campaign is to raise awareness about the need to prepare for extreme weather that can endanger people?s lives and property. The Take Winter By Storm website, www.takewinterbystorm.org, is a one-stop emergency preparedness center that includes safety tips and regional resources for information about the weather, power outages, flooding, shelters and assistance agencies.
 
We think this would be a great hands-on event for students wanting to learn how a media event comes together.
 
If you do have interested students, can you please ask them to contact me at the numbers below?
 
Thank you for your time and consideration.  I look forward to hearing from you.

UW Dream Project seeking writing tutors for Admissions Workshop Weekend 

The Dream Project is a student-initiated, student-led program that partners
UW students with first-generation and low-income students from local high
schools, as they navigate through the college
admissions process. Our mentors work with students at weekly high school
visits, while learning about issues of educational inequity and social
mobility. We currently have partnership with sixteen
high schools in the Greater Seattle area, and we are in need of writing
tutors for Dream Project's Admissions Workshop Weekend ? one of the most
important and life changing experiences for our
students.
 
On the weekend of November 19th and 20th, the Dream Project will be hosting
Admissions Workshop Weekend, where each student from our sixteen partner
schools and other local high school students are
invited to participate in information sessions from various Washington State
colleges and universities. Ideally, students will also have the opportunity
to work one on one with a mentor/tutor to
make sure they are on track with the college application process, gain
strong understanding of the college application and craft a quality
application/essay. From years past, many of our students
complete their entire college applications over the course of this weekend.
You will find that this is rewarding community experience when you witness
the accomplishment of these students in one
weekend. That is why we need your help!
 
A critical part of the application process and this event is writing their
personal statement. A good writing tutor can help a student produce a
powerful, thoughtful, and polished personal essay.
This year we are expecting over 1,000 high school seniors to attend the
workshop. We would love to have your support and enthusiasm in ensuring that
our students successfully apply to colleges of
their dreams.
 
We are looking for people who:
 
* are comfortable working with high school students,
* can help students formulate their ideas into a strong college application
essay,
* have solid writing skills, and
* have a general understanding of the college admissions process.
 
If you are not comfortable with volunteering as a writing tutor, please
consider being a general support volunteer for the event.
 
If you're interested in committing to this effort, please go to the
following link to register: www.dreamproject.washington.edu/workshop/help.
 
When you arrive, there will be a brief orientation and overview of what's
required in an admissions essay on the morning of both days. We will send
out an email later about the details of the
meeting.
 
Not only do you get the rewarding experience of helping students access
higher education, you will also get lunch!

My name is Evan Wells and I am a student manager for the baseball team here
at UW. We are having our final fall scrimmages, called the Purple and Gold
Series, and were hoping to get some footage of those games. I am not sure
exactly who to contact, so I was hoping you might be able to help me. I'm
not sure if you have any classes within your department that deal with
filming, but I was hoping that there might be a student or two who could use
this opportunity as a project for class, and possibly create a short
highlight video based on the upcoming games.

You are invited to voluntarily participate in a short survey related to
Chinese American social identity in relation to social networks. This survey
is part of an in depth research project that examines the position of
Chinese Americans following the sensationalist YouTube video in which a UCLA
student Alexandra Wallace decries the behavior and (lack of) manners of
Asians manifested in various settings, ranging from their apartments to the
library. She opens her video stating that her rant is not directed toward
any of her friends; rather it is toward "random people I don't even know."
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNuyDZevKrU) This rant elicited many
responses from Chinese and Asian American community members. One artist?s
response (watch it here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zulEMWj3sVA) which,
itself, became a YouTube sensation, was that of Jimmy Wong, an independent
LA-based musician who is from Seattle.   
 
There will be no compensation or benefits, directly or indirectly, for
completing this survey.
 
The results of the survey remain absolutely anonymous. You must complete
this survey in one sitting. You may not save your results for later
completion.

Actuality Media is an organization that takes media students to developing 
countries to produce videos for social enterprises and nonprofits.
 
Last summer we had three successful outreaches in Latin America. In the summer of 2012 we are going back - Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala - and we are seeking out interested students to join us on this adventure.
  
A quick summary:
 
Lack of access to media resources keeps many brilliant social organizations out of the international spotlight. Actuality Media aims to rectify that.
 
Next summer, up to 5 crews will travel for a month to each outreach location. 
While on site, each 4-student crew will research, write, shoot and edit a short documentary film about a local social enterprise under the guidance of a supervising producer. Once the documentary is completed, the
social enterprises that are the subject of the films will use the media to 
further their mission.  The films these students create will be distributed internationally.
 
There is a program fee to participate in the outreaches, but it is very 
competitive compared to other study abroad and volunteering opportunities. There are currently no other organizations arranging video production programs like this. Students may apply either as individuals or in
teams.
 
 
"Ritmo En Los Barrios" is just one video our crews made last summer.
 
A flyer for the upcoming outreaches is attached - please forward this on to 
your students.
 
Also, if you know any students that are finished with school after the current 
term, please let
them know that we are still accepting applications for our January outreach to 
Chiang Mai,
Thailand.

The videos will be of two varieties: 1-3 of the videos will be about 28 to 30 minutes in length and will be taped with a host and interviewees in front of a live-audience; 6-10 of the videos will be about 4 to 5 minutes in length and will consist mostly of interviews with HIV experts.  We intend these videos to be informative, but with a relatable and fresh personality.  
 
We are writing to you to see if any of your journalism students might be
interested in such a project.  We are specifically looking for a video
producer who can edit the footage.  While this position will not be paid, it
will be a rewarding experience and practice for the student and will help
the medical community as well.  We would greatly appreciate it if you could
publicize this opportunity to your students.  Please feel free to provide my
contact information: sonia@uaidintl.org, (937) 216-5029.

My name is Jimmy Bowen and I am an intern with the UW Athletic Department. I am working closely with the Husky Track & Field team on making a video for
their website on GoHuskies.com.

The requirements are fairly simple, we would need 1-2 students to film an
interview with the coaches and a few student-athletes, and perhaps obtain
some pictures or video of iconic campus locations. We would also need
someone to record the video voiceover -- this would need to be someone with
a great voice and some sort of experience with narrating a video.

Juniors & seniors only, please.

Somali women in Seattle. To learn more about the program, see Seattle Times
article at
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2014740317_somaliyoga11.html 
 
Background: The women who participate in Daryel have found yoga to be so
beneficial that they would like to have a DVD to use at home. We would like
to film Daryel's yoga teacher demonstrating yoga. The video would be dubbedin the Somali language. 
 
Project activity: A student will film, edit, and add a voiceover to the
video. 
 
The student would be involved in a discussion with the instructor, the
participants, and the program director to help plan the video. There?s a
possibility that this video would be posted on EthnoMed.org (Harborview?s
ethnic medicine web site) with an article written about Daryel. 
 
Timeframe: Flexible. Summer of 2011 would be a great time to do the project.
Daryel meets on Sundays in south Seattle. Transportation to the location can
be arranged. Independent study credit can be arranged with Prof. Roger
Simpson.

International Specialized Programs Department, and I am responsible for
organizing some of the exchange programs coming to UW from foreign
institutions. 
  
This summer, Keio University in Tokyo, Japan will be sending a group of 40

Calling artists with an interest in Global Health

Artist applications are now being accepted for participation in the 2nd Annual Party with a Purpose (PWAP).
On June 17 at McCaw Hall, 1000 of our city’s most vibrant young professionals will gather in their finest attire for an unforgettable opportunity to explore and celebrate the innovative global health work being done in Washington State.

The 2011 Party with a Purpose is soliciting help from artists who can creatively educate our peers about the dynamic global health innovations taking place in Washington. Working with one of the 12 member organizations of the Washington Global Health Alliance, artists will be challenged to interpret the facts, stories and inspirations behind some of these innovations and retell the stories in an artistic, experiential, and well, innovative manner. Completed works and artists’ statements will be displayed at the party, and artists will be invited to attend the event and present their works in person. Following the event, works will be given to their corresponding organization for display. 

All work must be original and designed explicitly for the Party. Artists are encouraged but not required to be present at the event on June 17. An honorarium will be awarded to participating artists following the event. 

Guidelines:
Each artist will receive a completed idea brief from their assigned WGHA member including organization description, innovation name and description, a list of keywords associated with the innovation, as well as links to websites and other social media tools that may be useful in learning more about the organization and gathering inspiration for the piece (e.g., YouTube, Flickr, Facebook). Completed works and artist statements are due to the PWAP board liaisons by June 3. Works must be freestanding, rest on an easel, or fit on a bistro table. Electric/AV needs should be discussed with PWAP exhibit committee in advance to ensure they can be accommodated. 

Application is required for consideration and participation is restricted to artists selected by the PWAP exhibit committee. Artists and artisans living in Seattle are especially encouraged to apply. 

To Apply:
Please send a cover letter outlining your artistic experience/credentials and motivation for working on this project. Please attach any relevant photos or information about past projects and be sure to include your contact information. All applications are due to pwapexhibits@wghalliance.org by 5:00 pm Friday, April 15, 2011. Selected artists will be notified by Monday, April 18, 2011. Selected artists will receive details of their assignment as soon as they confirm participation.  


“Global health is the purpose. Young adults are the inspiration. The party is the catalyst.”

Party with a Purpose (PWAP) 2011 is just around the corner and I am getting
reeeeally excited! If you haven?t done so already, mark your calendar for June
17 at McCaw Hall ? we?re expecting around 1000 people (double last year?s party),
and this year we?re hoping to raise over $30,000 for the Infectious Disease
Research Institute (this year?s beneficiary) for the work they?re doing on
tuberculosis (this year?s purpose). Tickets go on sale 4/11, so you can expect
another email from me around that time :).
 
 
 
I?m hoping I can ask for your help as we finalize details! Below is a list of
things/people we?re looking for to make the party a success. If you could take
a minute or two to review the list, and then think through your network of
friends, friends-of-friends, colleagues, acquaintances, etc. to identify
anyone you know who might be interested in participating, I would be
oh-so-appreciative!
 
 
 
Here?s what we?re looking for (in no particular order):
 
?         ARTISTS: See attached Call for Artists; it?s a pretty cool assignment,
so please pass along to your artsy friends and networks!
 
?         PHOTOGRAPHERS: We?re looking for a few great photographers to capture
the event and the people at it. They need to bring their own equipment, be
willing to work for free (if not the whole party, at least a few hours), and
be willing to give us rights to all the images (we will, of course, credit
them for all their work!).
 
?         VIDEO SUPPROT:
 
o   PROGRAM VIDEO: We are planning to make another awesome flash-animation
video to show at the party to remind people while we?re there and to get
people excited about global health, the Infectious Disease Research
Institute (this year?s beneficiary), and fighting tuberculosis (this year?s
purpose). If you know of someone who makes great videos and would be willing
to do so at a minor cost, please introduce me!
 
o   EVENT VIDEOS: We want to capture the thoughts/feelings of party
attendees at the party, too, so we?re looking for videographers who can bring
their own equipment (could be as simple as a flip-cam), are comfortable
interviewing people at the party, and are willing to give us rights to the
videos (of course, giving credit to them).
 
o   VIDEO EDITING: We?re also looking for a video editor or two to pull
together the videos we take at the event.
 
?         MUSIC: If you know a musical person, group, or DJ that is AWESOME
(not good, not great, but AWESOME), let me know! We?re hoping to find people
willing to donate their time/talent to the cause and bring their own
equipment, but we have some flexibility on both accounts. We have three
musical needs:
 
o   INTRO: Looking for a group/singer to set the tone as people arrive!
 
o   HAITIAN: The Infectious Disease Research Institute is going to be using
the money raised at the party to fight TB in Haiti, so we?re looking for some
Haitian musicians who might be willing to perform.
 
o   DANCING: For the dancing part ? must be able to shake your booty to their
music!
 
?         CELEBS: We?d love to know who you know that might be interested in
showing their support for the party by showing up or making a short flip-cam
video message.
 
?         RAFFLE ITEMS: We sold-out the raffle last year and we already have
some pretty sweet items this year, but wondering who you know that has
something cool to donate!
 
?         SPONSORS: Of course, we are always in need of
people/organizations/businesses interested in sponsoring the party. It?s
actually a really great opportunity for a business/org to show their
involvement in this community and support for global health to a
commercially strategic demographic of 20- and 30-something professional
Seattleites, and we have sponsorship levels from $500 - $50,000!
 
?         VOLUNTEERS: We?re going to need TONS to make the party happen, so if
you or anyone you know might be interested in helping out for an hour or
two, let me know! Volunteers will get discounted tickets to the party!

Calling all Communication students!
The Department of Communication is in need of volunteers for our inaugural event:

SEAchange 2011
From Exxon Valdez to Deepwater Horizon:
Tales of Environmental Disaster, Justice, and Recovery
with Lessons for Puget Sound

Saturday, April 2, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

SEAchange is a new Department of Communication event intended to spark and seed conversations on topics that are both timely and resonant in the media landscape. This year, we are hosting a day-long event taking place in the Research Commons of Allen Library with nationally known speakers who will share ideas and compare the many ramifications of the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 20 years ago to last year’s Deepwater Horizon spill, while at the same time use Puget Sound as a backdrop for the conversation. 

The event will feature a main stage of speakers as well as simultaneous small discussions and multimedia presentations on a variety of topics from how the media covered these spills to how to visualize data or find out if your seafood is safe to eat. At the heart of these conversations is the way that people and organizations tell stories, in person and through media channels. For example, Deepwater Horizon emerged as a “YouTube disaster” -- people could view the spill without the lens of the media. What does this mean for how the story was later told and understood? In addition, this conference will be a test run for a new virtual summit site called Social27 -- to allow people to leverage social media to interact before, during, and after the conference and also to “attend” the conference remotely. 

Because this will be a non-traditional style conference, with main stage presentations and breakout sessions all going on at once in different areas of the Research Commons -- and with information flow and content creation and curation needed on the back end of the Social27 site --  we need your help to stay organized and on top of it all. All volunteers will have the opportunity to attend the conference when not working. Meals and refreshments will be provided.

Volunteers will be on rotation, so no one person will be filling a position for the duration of the event (8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.). Here are the positions we need to fill:

-Event set-up the previous night (Friday, April 1, 6pm): Students needed to help position signage, tables, sponsor banners, bring and test-run all equipment, and make sure every aspect of the event is in place for the next morning. (4 students needed)
-Registration table: 2 students at all times, checking in attendees via iPad, handing out programs and information sheets, directing guests to where they want to go, and helping event planner with other small tasks. (2-3 hour rotations: 6 students needed)
-Videographer: One student needed at all times to film the 6 main stage presentations in the Research Commons which will be on a live feed to Allen Auditorium, and to make sure technology (microphone/audio) is working correctly before each main stage session. (3 hour rotations: at least 2 students needed)
-Allen Auditorium Tech Monitor: One student needed to make sure the live feed from Research Commons is coming through clearly at all times. (3 hour rotations: at least 2 students needed)
-Breakout Session Monitors for the 4 rooms; 1 student per room per session: One student in each room to make sure technology is working when necessary. (3 hour rotations: at least 8 students needed)
-Writers/Scribes/Tweeters -- We need students to send tweets and short feeds from the Social27 website about the discussions occurring at the conference and to be able to take questions that come in to the site from participants to the speakers. (3 hour rotations, 1 student per presentation - breakout and main stage: at least 15 students)

It is possible for volunteers to fill more than one position if they choose to do so. For example, you could help with event setup on Friday night, and be a videographer as well. Once we have our volunteers, we will hold a run-through pizza lunch-meeting the week before the event to make sure everyone is aware of and prepared for their roles for SEAchange.

If you are interested in any of these positions, please send an E-mail to Amanda Weber, event coordinator, at anweber@uw.edu. As an f.y.i., Amanda is a former COM undergrad who worked with the Department on activities in her time as a student.

I'm working with Nourish International, winner of the 2008 North Carolina Peace Prize for excellence in cross-cultural solutions and sustainable development.
 
Nourish International is a student movement to eradicate global poverty. During the school year, Nourish Chapters run small businesses called "Ventures." The money they earn is invested in sustainable development projects that they choose. 
Over the summer, they travel abroad to work alongside their community partner in implementing the project.
 
To expand our impact, we're looking for students to found Nourish Chapters at their respective universities. Students who apply and are selected for our Chapter Founders Program will receive $500 in start-up capital, professional training 
and support in founding their own chapter and will gain valuable experience in the process.

25,000 people die each day from hunger. You can change this.
 
Apply to start a chapter of Nourish International on your campus today!
  
Nourish is a student movement to address global poverty through social entrepreneurship. We are located on 22 U.S. college campuses and are now accepting applications to expand.
  
Nourish Chapters raise money on campus during the school year to fund international development projects. This past summer, students traveled to Turkey to develop a
marketing strategy with Nil?fer Women?s Cooperative. The students? efforts allowed the cooperative to expand, increasing the number of children receiving early education and the number of women employed. 
 
By running a business venture to fund a project, you could have a similar impact. Here?s how to get started:
  
  *
 
     Apply to start a Nourish Chapter: Until April 17th, Nourish will accept applications for its Chapter Founders Program. Chapter Founders will receive professional training, support and $500 start-up capital. Start your application now by clicking here!

     Tell a friend: Know someone who would make a great Chapter Founder?

Sincerely,
 
The Nourish Team

2010 - 2011 ASUW Committee Organizing Rape Education (CORE)
Volunteer Information Form


***ALL APPLICATIONS DUE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10th 2010 BY 6:00PM***

Thank you for your interest in CORE. As a CORE volunteer, you will participate in an extensive training program that will prepare you to lead the university community in an active and open discussion surrounding sexual assault, relationship violence and stalking. Through peer education you will not only deepen your knowledge of these issues but will have the opportunity to raise awareness and learn how to support survivors on the University of Washington campus.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to stop by the CORE office (Condon 406), email us at asuwcore@u.washington.edu, or call us at 206-543-4238.



PEER EDUCATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

•	It is required that CORE peer educators complete our training program. Training involves a 36 hour time commitment over the span of two quarters.  Training sessions will take place on Thursday evenings from 5:30-7:30pm, starting January 13, 2011.  There will be no trainings during the week immediately before finals, during finals week, or during spring break.  Due to the importance of each topic covered in training, it is expected that volunteers attend all training sessions. If special circumstances arise, they will be considered on an individual basis.

•	CORE involves a one year and one quarter commitment (winter quarter of 2011 - winter quarter of 2012) from all volunteers (excluding summer quarter).  Many volunteers continue working with CORE for their entire college careers, and participation past the first year is encouraged.

•	During spring quarter, ASUW CORE is responsible for hosting the University of Washington’s annual Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence Awareness (SARVA) Month. As a CORE volunteer, you will help lead the SARVA Month Planning Committee in organizing and implementing a variety of events throughout campus.

•	Upon completion of CORE training, peer educators are responsible for co-leading presentations throughout fall quarter 2011and into winter quarter 2012.  Most presentations will occur in the evenings, so evening availability is necessary.


TRAINING PROCESS

Training will consist of interactive discussions, presentations by professionals in the field, readings, role playing, and development of presentation skills. Topics covered include: consent, sex, communication, alcohol, stalking, supporting a survivor, campus and community resources, relationship violence, and sexual harassment in the campus community. Training will thoroughly prepare volunteers to lead their peers in active and open discussions through CORE presentations.
