Change
Are you or someone you know a college student who wants to help CHANGE the world?
Each year, we choose 50 undergraduates from colleges and universities around the US to be part of Oxfam America's national leadership program, CHANGE. These incredible students gain the tools and skills they need to become leaders and make a real difference in the fight against hunger, poverty and injustice. And now's your chance to become one of them!
Would you or someone you know make a good candidate?
Selected students commit to a year-long program, attend a week-long training in Boston, and start a club and lead an Oxfam campaign on their campus, supported by Oxfam staff. The CHANGE Initiative:
- Gives capable and confident student leaders the tools they need to create social change;
- Connects them to skills based training, resources and year-round support provided by Oxfam's expert staff;
- Teaches students about the global fight against poverty, hunger and injustice through leadership and advocacy trainings; and
- Helps participants transform their knowledge into action on campus and in their communities.
Applications are due April 1 - apply and spread the word today!
The commitment of CHANGE Leaders to make a difference often goes far beyond our one-year program. Past students have stood side-by-side with world leaders at meetings of the World Trade Organization and the G8, spoken at the UN Youth Assembly, founded their own organizations, and worked on legislative campaigns - to name just a few accomplishments.
With the tools and the experience you'll gain from the CHANGE program, you'll join a global network of people who make a real difference for their communities and for the world. So, what are you waiting for?
Be a part of CHANGE on your campus. Apply and tell others about Oxfam's CHANGE Initiative today!

AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America)
We have a corps of 25 VISTAs from across the country who are placed on college campuses all across the state of Massachusetts. Massachusetts Campus Compact (MACC) is a membership organization of 70 higher education institutions across the state of Massachusetts. All of these members are given the opportunity to apply for a VISTA on their campus. The campuses submit a proposal with a work plan for the VISTA which is specific to the needs of up to three campus-community partnerships. While every VISTA works on different initiatives depending on their campus, all of them fall under the goal of campus-community partnership and collaboration. This can manifest itself through the two sub goals of a) education or b) economic opportunity.
The work plans differ between campuses, but all VISTAs are required to spend 25% of their time embedded in the community. This dedicated community time can be with one community based partnership or spent building partnerships to help break down barriers to access and success. Additionally, some VISTAs work on tutor/mentor programs or college visits.
Please note that this position starts in July 2013 and goes through July 2014. For more information check out thier website (http://masscampuscompact.org/) and the VISTA Blog (http://blog.masscampuscompact.org/category/vista/).
