<p>I have just been appointed the Amnesty International OUTfront coordinator for my region and want some advice on how to best carry out my responsibilities (I'm looking for general advice at this point). Basically, I'll be <em>the</em> collaborator among student leaders of Chicago-area colleges, high schools, and middle schools. I have some previous organizing experience but nothing of this importance yet, so I'm a little anxious but also excited. Since I'll be working with peers your age, I thought I should ask you:</p>
<p>What's the best way to get students involved and keep them interested? Do follow-up emails work? Social events?</p>
<p>cookies/candy/ice cream</p>
<p>free of course</p>
<p>Forget all that sweet crap. Give us free sandwiches.</p>
<p>its all about the food. dont forget the drinks
-free dougnuts and ill be there in a second</p>
<p>In my experience, wherever there are free t-shirts and/or free beverages or foodstuffs available, I end up finding my way there... even if I don't agree with or have no idea what the "cause" is.</p>
<p>ROFL I <3 us teens. Ask us what we want, and the first thing to pop out is a unanimous "FREE FOOD"</p>
<p>So, so awesome. XD</p>
<p>Free Food +Free Drinks = very large crowd</p>
<p>we're trying to be honest :)</p>
<p>Lol, we've got food covered.</p>
<p>Oh man I didn't even think about the possibility of a free T-Shirt. That would be like the holy grail of attracting high school students, trust me.</p>
<p>if you put out free t-shirts- the whole school will come
-make sure u tell them that they can have the free stuff at the END of the meeting</p>
<p>good free food and ill b camping out to make sure im first in line. yes me and all my friends loveeeeee free food.</p>
