Want to Change the World?

A Call for Nominations for 2008-09 CIE Fellows

What makes you different? Do you have something to say about the future of the planet? What would you improve in your community, your world? CIE invites rising sophomores and juniors who have a strong desire to create change in their communities to be a part of its 2008-09 Fellows program.

This program is selective, accepting only thirty fellows from across the greater DC region for 2008-09. Fellows will focus on Wind, Water, and Waste issues and will learn how to change the future of the planet.

Fellows will have the opportunity to:

• Learn from people and organizations that are tackling these challenges
• Connect with other students from public, private, and charter schools who also want to change their neighborhoods and our world
• Become a social entrepreneur and leader and do something about these issues

Who becomes a Fellow? Students who:

• Are civic-minded and looking for ways to change the world
• Are open-minded, engaged, and excited about meeting students from all over the area
• Believe they can change both their future and the future of the planet
• Want to raise global awareness and cause their school community to take action
• Are rising 10th and 11th graders with solid academic standing and can fully commit to this program

Think you can accept this challenge? Or does this sound like someone you know? Each school is responsible for choosing its candidate(s)—see your school's CIE representative for more information.
