GNG has partnered with the Bezos Family Foundation and Architecture for Humanity to create Students Rebuild. This is an OPEN CALL to students around the world to collectively become a part of a movement of young people to help rebuild schools in Haiti. Students will lend a hand to their Haitian peers by jointly raising $500K to help reconstruct schools devastated by the earthquake. Did we mention this is a matching challenge grant?!? Thus, your students have the potential to help raise $1 million dollars for Haiti! (All amounts raised are welcomed, but there is a $2500 fundraising cap per school.) As an educator, here is your chance to get your students fired up about this awesome opportunity by tapping into their creativity and leadership skills and giving them a forum to TANGIBLY RESPOND to most the devastating earthquake the Western Hemisphere has experienced in 200 years.
Students need not sit back and observe the images and sounds replayed in various media outlets - this is their opportunity to TAKE ACTION. BRING FRIENDS. AND TOGETHER, REBUILD.
Here are four simple steps to get started:
1. Sign-up for our Live FREE VCs
GNG will be on the ground the week of March 22-26. Click here to register or here to learn more!
2. Register a team at StudentsRebuild.org (or two or three!)
Reach out to your social studies department, your history department, your community service club, your French club, your architecture club, or better yet - reach out to the entire student body!
3. Watch our LIVE WEBCAST
GNG will be conducting a special LIVE webcast while we are on the ground - simply click the URL (to be provided) and hook your students in to what’s happening on the ground.
4. Start Brainstorming!
Be creative and have fun as you and your students brainstorm various ways to raise money to help rebuild schools for Haiti!
As this is a Rapid Response program, we are still in the process of planning and improving this program, so all times and dates are subject to change. For more information, contact Grace Lau- grace@gng.org or 212.529.0377.
Our team here at GNG is thrilled to bring you and your students this incredible opportunity to make a difference! Look forward to seeing you, in the field!
