What does a Change the World Kid do? A Change the World Kid will do a minimum of one job a month. This amounts to only a few hours a month of an individual's time, but will enable the group to help many people and accomplish other projects.
How often do Chapters meet? Chapters of Change the World Kids will hold regular meetings and will keep minutes of the meetings. Some Chapters meet once a week, some meet every two weeks, and every Chapter meets at least once a month.
Who runs the group? All Change the World Kids' Chapters are run by the members; however, an adult may volunteer or be paid by the group to help, particularly if this enables the members to do more work or the group to be more organized.
Is there a Headquarters? The Headquarters office is in Woodstock, VT. The contact information is: Email: changetheworldkids@yahoo.com Phone: 1-802-457-2622 Postal Address: Change the World Kids 1046 Atwood Lane Woodstock, VT 05091 USA
Are there any dues? Most Chapters of Change the World Kids contribute to the organization to help with correspondence, website, and other costs. The suggested amount for the first year is $50, and subsequent years will be $100, unless this is a burden.
Will we be on the Web? The Headquarter group in Woodstock, VT hopes that you will send frequent information and photos about your Chapter to be included on the Change the World Kids' website, which will be the master website for the organization, changetheworldkids.org. A chapter might also have its own website, and it will be linked to the changetheworldkids.org website.
What is the name of our Chapter? You are called Change the World Kids! All materials produced by your Chapter will identify your group as "Change the World Kids, Your Town, Your State", for instance, Change the World Kids, Woodstock, VT.
How do we account for money that we raise for projects? Money raised for your original initiatives will be managed by your Chapter. All money for Bosque para Siempre or Teens Connecting Continents will be sent to the Headquarters office in Woodstock, which will send tax letters when necessary. Your Chapter is responsible for writing thank you notes for any donations that you receive. This is very important!
What if our Chapter wants to have sales to fundraise? Your Chapter can have sales as often as is fun and necessary. Items for sale range widely from Chapter to Chapter, but we do not promote illegal drugs, alcohol or weapons, and we stay away from published profanity. If you want to sell Monteverde coffee, you will order it through the Headquarters office (to make sure that the farmers and co-op get the best deal). It will be shipped to your Chapter directly. If you want to sell any of the items on the website as part of your fundraising, contact the Headquarters office.
