Hi all
Please see below for an opportunity that might interest some of the
young people you work with.
Thanks
Marianne
DRUGS: Whether you love them or loathe them, take them or hate them, we
know that they play a part in the lives of young people.
Are you sick of hearing stuff about drugs that is over exaggerated, old
fashioned and irrelevant?
We Want You!
The crew behind Reach Out [www.reachout.com.au] (in partnership with Ted
Noffs Foundation www.noffs.org.au) are developing a new and innovative
community website with honest and straight up info on drugs. It will
create a conversation around taking party and recreational drugs such as
cannabis and amphetamines (ecstasy, speed, ice) it will also give young
people a chance to share tips on the best ways to party safely.
The site is aimed at young people who are curious about drugs and/or
those who are occasional / recreational users.
We're looking for a team of young people from Melbourne and Sydney, who
can help us to create this website. You would play an integral part in
developing the direction and content of the site. This would include
design, content, and marketing.
The duration of the steering committee is 7 months, starting in December
and ending with the website launch in June 2009. We communicate mostly
through online forums, and there are two one day face-to-face workshop
held in Melbourne in January and March (dates TBC).
Apply to be on a steering committee to develop a new site.
To become involved you need to be:
* Aged 18-25
* Living in Melbourne OR Sydney
* Able to attend both one-day workshops
* Able to access the internet at least one hour per week
* Accept the aims of the project?
If you are interested, email Marianne Webb Marianne@inspire.org.au by
Wednsday 31st December.
Please include:
* A little bit about yourself
* Why you'd like to be involved and what you think you can contribute
