Student Leaders: Apply to work for OCC!
Share
Greetings, ONE members!
 |
My name is Maisie Pigeon and I’m the new ONE Student Coordinator. Right now, I’m working non-stop to make this year’s ONE Campus Challenge a success. The ONE Campus Challenge is a nationwide competition between universities where schools have the opportunity to earn points by taking actions against poverty. (Actions range from signing up your friends and family, to “ONE-ing” your campus mascot, to writing letters to your members of Congress.)
Currently we are working to get everything ready for the OCC 2008/2009-kickoff. The competition between schools last year was pretty steep, in the end Western Kentucky University won out over more than a thousand schools nationwide. This year the competition only looks to intensify. We can’t wait to see what tricks you guys have up your sleeves!
This will be my second year working with OCC, as I was a Regional Outreach Ambassador (aka – ROA) last year. I want to let you know that we’re currently looking to fill positions for this year’s crew of Regional Outreach Ambassadors. ROAs are active student leaders who help college students across the country promote ONE and fight extreme poverty by acting as liaisons between ONE staff and ONE student leaders across the country.
Find more information on becoming a ROA and pick up an application here. And stay tuned to the ONE Blog for more updates on OCC in the coming weeks.

Hi,
I am a senior this year at my high school so I may not exactly be the college students you’re looking for, but I would very much like to become involved in this campaign. So if there are any positions for upcoming high school seniors I would love to help!
Thank You,
Gabrielle Castagno

Thank you Maisie for your energy and dedication.
Think of all the resources the world would have when countries begin to adopt peaceful means to resolve conflicts! Peace helps alleviate poverty.
In that light, we would like to invite you and OCC to join us in promoting our upcoming global event: To have all radio stations around the world play Bob Marley’s “One Love” at the same time on International Peace Day on Sept.21, 2008. Millions of people around the world singing a song of Peace together is a small thing with a potentially huge impact.
So please join us. For further info. please look at our web site http://www.oneloveformusic.com. Please contact me and together we can unite to strenghthen our goals. My email; onelove4music@gmail.com.
In gratitude, Marisa

Dear Maise,
One Love for Music is developing quickly and we hope to have a collaborative relationship with OCC.
We are proud to announce that Yoko Ono is now supporting our efforts and has agreed to be our Global Ambassador.
So how can we join together to create a much bigger impact? Please email me at onelove4peace@gmail.com (pls. disregard the previous email address)
In appreciation once more, Marisa
