Posted by on March 23, 2009

The Oxfam America CHANGE Initiative is now accepting student applications for its free 2009 summer training in Boston July 18-24. Here is your chance to become more involved on your campus and community.

Apply by April 1 at: http://www.oxfamamerica.org/change

The CHANGE Initiative aims to develop capable and confident young leaders, who are active agents for positive social change. Oxfam is looking for a diverse group of undergraduate students – rising sophomores and juniors – committed to social justice issues. Students must have an interest in global issues including mining, climate change, hunger & poverty, and be willing to carry out campaigns on their campuses and in their communities.

We’ve put together a short video explaining the program and how it has made a difference in the lives of the students who participated in the summer training.

Watch the video and apply online at http://www.oxfamamerica.org/change.

Know someone who would make a good candidate? You can nominate students by going to the Tell a Friend section of our website at http://www.oxfamamerica.org/change. Students will be sent an email informing them of this opportunity at your request.

If you have any questions please call 800-77-OXFAM ext. 2464 or email CHANGE@oxfamamerica.org.

Applications are due April 1, 2009.

The CHANGE Initiative is a challenging and exciting program. Working together with Oxfam you can help end poverty and injustice.
