Minimum 500 words
Must include a introduction, body, and concluding
- Ambassador system, get a bunch of students to spread word by mouth-similar to block. Get friends on board
Online platform- online forums or DIY videos, Facebook group. Become the resource so people know where to reach out to. Email to all students about groups
We only found out about Eco Vista because of this class- maybe add more classes that discusses EcoVista
School and community outreach, co-op and parks and rec
Incentives- internship, community service
Isla Vista currency, people do good acts and that gives them currency to use (will be difficult though). Farmer’s market near Costco does this
Fun events, family related, food, get educated, prizes
Target toward family community because they stay here instead of leaving every four years
Spread to schools, get people involved who have children
More meetings so people who work during the day can come, offer more meetings
Show films at IV theater about climate change, offer extra credit to classes
Ucsb students in clubs need points for funding, could implement more community based events for points. Support community more than other club teams
Tapping into Gaucho FYI, include more about Isla Vista in general
