Volunteer Opportunity GLOBAL ZERO ACTION CORPS

"Global Zero is grassroots organizing at its finest." 
-UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

At Global Zero, the international movement for the elimination of nuclear weapons, we're fueled by the creativity and passion of young people members of the world's first post-Cold War generation who understand that nuclear weapons have no place in the 21st century. We know that young people are an incredibly powerful political force and often the catalysts for real change. That's why we're launching the Global Zero Action Corps, designed to mobilize all-star activists across the country to help us tackle the single biggest security threat of our generation.

About the Action Corps:

Starting in early 2015, the Global Zero will bring together 50 of the country's top young volunteer advocates, ages 18 - 35, for the first ever class of Global Zero Action Corps. During their 1-year service, Action Corps leaders will mobilize their peers, lead creative campaigns, and apply real pressure on policymakers to eliminate all nuclear weapons, everywhere. Equipped with unparalleled access to training, resources, and movement leaders, the Action Corps leaders will be on the front lines of the fight for a better, safe future.

The Action Corps will also have the opportunity to travel to New York City with Global Zero this spring for three days of high level training and action -- alongside some of the world's most prominent leaders in the field of international security. We have two alternatives: live in a world where nuclear weapons will be used or demand a world without them. The choice is ours.

Apply to Join the Global Zero Action Corps

Ready for the challenge? 

Apply online at:
www.globalzero.org/join-global-zero-action-corps. OR email a cover letter explaining why you'd like to be a Global Zero Action Corps leader, along with your resume or CV if you have one and short writing sample to field@globalzero.org by March 1, 2015.

About Global Zero:

Global Zero, the international movement for the elimination of all nuclear weapons, has grown to 300 eminent leaders and nearly half a million citizens worldwide. Its step-by-step plan to eliminate nuclear weapons has been endorsed by political leaders and leading newspapers, the Financial Times concluding that, "Global Zero's plan has shown the direction to be traveled; the world's leaders must now start moving."

University Disciplinary Committee seeks new members (Deadline: 11/10/2014)

Greetings, UW Students-

The Office of Community Standards and Student Conduct is currently seeking new student members for the University Disciplinary Committee (UDC).  The University Disciplinary Committee is comprised of students and faculty who hear disciplinary cases on behalf of the University. Students who have allegedly violated the Student Conduct Code can appear before the University Disciplinary Committee or may choose to have an informal hearing with a Community Standards and Student Conduct Hearing Officer.  Additionally, the UDC hears appeals of cases in which a student may have been found responsible for a violation of the code but the student disagrees with the initial finding or sanctions.

New student members will begin their one-year term in January 2015 and will complete their term at the end of December 2015. In order to serve on the University Disciplinary Committee, students must be enrolled full-time (either undergraduate or graduate) and be in good academic standing. Additionally, students must be able to commit to meeting as a committee 5-7 hours per month and should be interested in gaining leadership skills through serving on this University Wide Committee.

Students are selected at random from those students who identify an interest in the University Disciplinary Committee and then training is provided for those selected. This year’s first required training for all new UDC members will be held at the beginning of Winter quarter in January and details will be provided to selected students.

If you are interested in submitting your name for random selection of students to serve on the UDC, please email me directly at jadraper@uw.edu. In your email, please include your name, major, college or school, and year in school. This is the only information I need prior to randomly selecting students. The deadline to submit your name for random selection is 5pm on Monday, November 10th. Students will be notified via email whether or not they have been selected by Tuesday, November 18th.

Thank you and best wishes for the end of the term.

Connect to Homeless and Foster Teens through Students for Students: Sign Up by October 20th!

From Students for Students:

Hello,

I'd like to introduce the Students for Students program to you all! The program connects homeless and foster teens to UW students, with the goal of inspiring and supporting teens - who may not be considering college - to invest and have faith in their futures. 

Students for Students is holding a college panel series at the Old Fire House Teen Center in Redmond, and is looking for college students willing to share what the journey, experience, and opportunity of going to college has been for them! There will be three sessions held in November on Tuesdays from 7-9pm. The panels will be grouped by the following areas of study:

11/4: Natural Sciences, Engineering & Mathematics

11/11: Humanities, Social Sciences, Art & Medical Field

11/18: Business, Communications, Public Policy, Education, & Law

The purpose of this panel series is to show high school students how accessible and valuable college can be, and is intended for those who may not currently be considering college as an option. However, these panels cannot be held unless we get a confirmed crew of volunteer speakers! Imagine if it were your words that inspired someone to see that going to college was something they wanted for themselves and their life. There'll also be free food...

If you're interested in speaking or just learning more, please contact me or message S4S by Monday, October 20th, through our Facebook page (see links below). Share this with anyone who may be interested too! 

Best,

Volunteer/Intern positions at Court Watch for Winter 2015

CourtWatch, a court monitoring program with the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center (KCSARC), is looking for students to volunteer/intern beginning in January 2015!

About KCSARC: Founded in 1976, KCSARC has grown to be the largest sexual assault victim’s service organization in Washington. Our purpose is to alleviate, as much as possible, the trauma of sexual assault for victims and their families. In addition to our CourtWatch program, we offer a comprehensive set of services to meet our clients’ needs including: legal advocacy, therapy, a 24-hour resource line, and parent education.

What is Court monitoring? Court monitoring is the process of gathering information about the courts through observation and research. CourtWatch monitors will observe King County Superior Court cases related to sexual assault and child abuse, and complete targeted questionnaires so that the information can be used to track individual cases and patterns of behavior. Based on monitors’ observations, KCSARC will follow up with justice system personnel to reinforce positive trends, and to recommend improvements that will make the justice system more effective in its handling of cases involving sexual assault and child abuse victims.

Location: Volunteers/interns will observe court proceedings at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent and/or the King County Courthouse in Seattle, and will be required to provide their own transportation to and from court. Applicants can indicate their location preference on their applications.

Time Commitment: One monitoring shift lasts approximately 3.5 hours. Volunteers are expected to make a minimum six-month commitment to volunteer for one shift per month. Volunteers may commit to monitor for less than six months (e.g. semester or quarter) if they will be receiving academic credit; however, those volunteers will be expected to volunteer for at least one shift per week.

Applicants who are selected are also expected to attend the CourtWatch orientation. The next orientation is scheduled as follows:
January 9, 2015 (Friday)
9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
King County Sexual Assault Resource Center
200 Mill Ave S. #10
Renton, WA 98057

Who should apply? This is a great opportunity for students interested in criminal law, sociology, political science, human rights, sexual violence issues, or for those who want increased exposure to the courts.


Application process:  Visit http://www.kcsarc.org/courtwatch to obtain more information and to download an application. You may also contact courtwatch@kcsarc.org to request an application.

Deadline to apply is November 14, 2014.
