OXFAM Change Initiative

The OXFAM CHANGE Initiative offers college students, at U.S. based campuses, entering their sophomore or junior year the opportunity to become effective social change agents.  CHANGE Leaders are exposed to the international development issues that inform Oxfam's work and apply their skills and insights to run Oxfam campaigns on their campuses and in their communities.

Applications are due on April 1, 2010.  Selected students are required to participate in a week long training in Boston, July 24-30, 1010 which is organized and paid for by Oxfam.  Students must agree to join or form an Oxfam Club and implement an Oxfam campaign on campus during the 2010-11 academic year, as well as communicate regularly with Oxfam staff about their work.

Arizona State University

ASU College of Public Programs (COOP) is recruiting passionate, committed, globally minded leaders in the same way NCAA athletes are recruited. They offer six degree programs aimed at giving students a hands-on experience in the areas of social work, nonprofit management, tourism, parks and recreation, and urban studies. ASU gives NGC students direct access to staff and current students to help them explore COPP programs. They also work directly with ASU Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid offices to ensure NGC students are financially supported.

Spirit of Service Scholars is an ASU COPP initiative. ASU's Spirit of Service Scholars program goal is to bring new talent, new ideas, and new energy to our changing nation as we journey into the future.
