How Will This Project Benefit the Community:

Bringing attention to global issues that are not only affecting the world on a macro level but are also having adverse impacts on our communities on a micro-level (i.e. poverty, HIV/AIDS, environment, etc)

In addition, it will bring attention to frequently unrecognized organizations within the community; provide them a platform to recruit, fundraiser, and bring in volunteers as well as allow them to fulfill their outreach goals in adhering to their mission statements.

• Ultimately, students will be connected to resources, organizations, and link-minded change-makers who they may not otherwise share space with

• This event will work to bring inter-community bonds as well as bonds between multiple communities throughout the region.
