• Building a coalition. Campus organizers work with student volunteers and interns to build a diverse, invested coalition of organizations.
• Training students to be effective social change leaders. We teach students how to organize educational events in their community, work with reporters to get media coverage for their campaigns, build grassroots support, advocate solutions to their elected officials and more.
• Building a strong, sustainable, student-f funded and student‑run organization on campus by fundraising, building relationships with key players on campus and building our organizational brand.
• Running a citizen outreach campaign office
