CAC funding application responsibilties

Hey guys! I hope you all are having a great summer so far! The CAC Budget Proposal deadline is fast approaching so in order to maximize our chances of receiving funding, I think we should start filling it out early. I am going to email all of you a copy of our budget proposal from last year so you can use it as a reference. I will also email you a copy of the Program Summary of the CPO proposal. However, last year's CAC proposal wasn't that good because I did it by myself and had absolutely no idea what I was doing! This time, I am going to divide the proposal into parts. Each of us is going to be assigned a part of the application. It is really important that we are very detailed and professional sounding. We have the opportunity to get as much as $10,500 from this proposal alone! Please email them to me by July 10th (two weeks from today). Below I have provided your assignment.

Also, yesterday we started to plan out the details of the Youth Human Rights Conference and Washington DC trip. Below are the updates:

1.) A Youth Human Rights Conference: at the end of spring quarter we want to hold a Human Rights Conference on campus. This conference is going to be open to any of the students who we have taught. we want to hold it on-campus, maybe in Kerkoff. The conference is going to be a 2 day (5 hours a day) event that will most probably take place over a weekend. It will start at 10am and end at 3 pm. Registration begins at 915. We made a tentative schedule.

Saturday: An interactive workshop that focuses on conflict zones such as Sierra Leone, N. Uganda, Burma, Somalia, etc) will be given to them. (2 hours)
Lunch (1 hour)
A film or documentary will be screened(2 hours)

Sunday: A "Take Action" workshop focus sing on lobbying, letter writing campaigns, and working with NGOs and NPOs will be given to the students. An interactive game will be played similar to the role playing game that we played at the GROW convention. After that we will have a guest speaker come and talk to the students. (Right now we are thinking of having the LOST BOYS of SUDAN and John Prendergast to come. I will ask John to invite Don Cheadle to speak. I think that if we can have a celebrity activist as a guest speaker many more students would come.

We will provide lunch for the students in the form of pizza and soda.

2.) A possible lobbying trip to DC: We want to take 3 students with us on the Lobbying Trip to DC that the DAC plans to make. in order for the student to go, they will have to write an essay and complete an application. Once all the essays/applications are turned in, HSAOP will go over them, and decide who the lucky three students will be.

If any of you have any questions, comments, or suggestions feel free to post them on the blog, that what its here for!


If for some reason you won't be able to help with the application let me know and we will work something out. Thanks!
