How to Ask an Activist to Prom

The girl trying to save the trees or the guy who's all about animal rights catching your eye? Here are some creative ways to ask them to prom that will let them know you're just as worth their time as the issue they care about.

Animal Protector

Grab them a veggie burger at lunch and write "Prom?" in ketchup.

Equality Activist

Ask them to sign a petition to make your prom LGBT friendly. When you've got their signature, flip to a prom invitation written on your clipboard.

Education Supporter

Use some of the lengthier magnetic poetry words to write an invite on their locker.

Fitness Fighter

Make a mini obstacle course on an unused field. When your activist crush gets through, they see your invitation.

AIDS Advocate

Make sure you're wearing a red ribbon to show support for AIDS awareness when you ask them!

Donation Driver

Ask them to turn in your coat/jeans/canned food into a drop box. Tape a prom invite to the item.

Military Man/Woman

Wear a yellow ribbon when you ask them to show your support for the troops.

Green Queen/King

Ask them to throw your empty soda can in the recycling bin. Tape the invitation (on recycled paper) to the can.

Bullying Preventor

Dates are so 2009 to this person. Invite your crush as part of an inclusive prom group—no pairing off required.
