Club

Who says you can't use art to promote change? Poetry is a great way to tell people about your cause, while getting them to take action.

Not only are rallies exciting and fun, but they also bring a bunch of people together for an awesome cause.

Purpose

Before the rallying begins, there should be a cause you want to spread awareness of. Media attention is super important because it allows you to reach more people about your cause. 

Get your community interested in your cause by coordinating an exhibit of visual art with your cause as the theme. It’s a great way to educate while having fun!

Presenting to your homeroom or your class doesn't have to cause you stress (I mean, you're too young to be pulling out your hair!). Put together an amazing presentation using the following steps.

Step 1

Find an audience. Is it for a school assignment? Then it will probably for your classmates and teacher. Not for a school assignment? Find a teacher that will let you spend some time in class telling students about your cause and why it’s important to them.

Are you always the one who silences your friends during an argument by proving a good point? The one who speaks up in class? Do you always win a game of Trivial Pursuit? If so, you should think about organizing (and participating in, of course) a classroom or school wide debate. This is a great way to spread awareness on a specific cause you care about. Just make sure you get all the quiet kids to participate, too.

Hosting a benefit concert is a great way to raise money for your cause while having fun and rocking out to a super cool band.

Build your team

Planning an event is stressful, so don’t do it alone. Make a Facebook status announcing your plan to host a concert and ask if anyone is interested to help.

Not only can surveys be very powerful, but they can also increase awareness about a cause you care about. Your survey results can give you information about what people think and believe about specific issues/topics. 

1. Get the go ahead. You don’t want to get on your principal’s bad side so first make sure that he or she is okay with this sort of thing.
2. Get your teachers on board. Have the teachers promise to do something crazy if you reach a certain goal, like promise to wear a ridiculous t-shirt to work or shave their heads. The hope of punishing a teacher has a certain way of inspiring people.
