And NYU Law is sponsoring a DO SOMETHING SOCIAL ACTION BOOTCAMP on Saturday, November 7th: Do Something is hosting a Social Action Boot Camp for 100+ amazing young people who are rocking their causes as activists or have started their own community action projects. The goal of the Boot Camp is to offer a platform for young world-changers
(25 and under) to learn, think big and share their passion for social
change with other like-minded peers. During the day, we offer 16
different sessions on topics ranging from "Recruiting and Managing
Volunteers" and "Public Relations" to "Building a Website" and
"Measuring Your Impact".

If you are in Northern California or want an excuse for a visit, consider going to the Engaging The Other conference in San Francisco (San Mateo to be precise) November 12-15. To register click here - to read more about it go to Tikkun's blog post about it!
