the problem.

the ask.

the research.

Education is something so simple that we, as college students, often forget to think about. It is so easy to take our status as university students for granted. However, there is so much change we can make in the world of education, even as 18-24 year olds.

To answer the “Why does education equity matter to me?" question for college-aged students through the creation of a multimedia campaign.  

College students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are between the ages of 18 and 24 and are social-justice minded.  They want to get involved during their time at Carolina but aren’t 100% sure how to do so.  They want to support organizations that have the interest of the community in mind.

Of students surveyed, only 10% knew the definition of education equity.

the big idea.

just because you don't have a child doesn't mean you shouldn't care about their future.

As a college student, you can use your personal educational experiences to talk to your community leaders about education equity.

 

You can find organizations in the community, or on campus, that make an impact on local schools. Figure out how to use your strengths to help these organizations in the fight for better education.

Children are unable to speak up for themselves. Be an active advocate for the children who live around you, even if you don't know them.

 

And remember- children are our future.
