Jill always says that students and youth are literally our future. You are the ones that we must support in building a more just future in our country. Campus organizing is needed to spread the message that if all 43 million persons with student debt voted for the only candidate that wanted to cancel student debt, Jill could win this election with a voting plurality. By posting flyers on your campus, starting a chapter of Young Greens, organizing and engaging in direct actions in person and online, dialoguing with other college groups who have overlapping interests, you can get the word out to other students and youth.

If you haven’t already, sign up on our Volunteer page to stay up to date on Jill2016 volunteer opportunities.



Also, join the Green Party's Youth Caucus for news on what Young Greens are doing nationwide.





📚 Steps to Organize Your Young Greens Chapter





1. Recruit and Register



Complete the Campus Chapter Application here!

Any non-Young Greens student organization that endorses the Stein-Baraka campaign is also eligible to be listed on this page and receive a free shipment of campaign materials. Please complete Step 1 and provide some documentation (social media post, statement by group's leadership) that you have endorsed Stein-Baraka.





2. Get Campus Recognition and Funding



There are benefits to being an official student organization including use of campus spaces, bulletins, and often student activities funding. Official campus recognition may also allow you to participate in student activities fairs and give you great ability to post flyers and have events on campus. It also signals that your group is here to stay to build the revolution even after Election Day. Because campuses often recognize clubs for political parties but not candidates, we recommend your group be titled a Young Greens chapter.



You can often find information on how to become an official campus group on the student activities page of your school. Sometimes they may require documents like By-Laws or Constitution. Even if not, it can be a good idea to have a basis for how your group functions, especially as it expands way beyond 3 persons! You can use our Chapter ByLaws Template and Chapter Constitution Template and simply plug in the name of your school. If you receive official recognition by your school or have questions on Constition/By-Laws, email gpusyouth@gmail.com to let the Green Party's Youth Caucus know!



3. Organize and Hold Events

Spread the word on campus to gain more members and to begin to promote Jill and the Green Party. Use the Campus Organizing Guide 101 to learn the basics. Check out our Organizing Hub for other ideas on things that your chapter can do such as phonebanking parties or flyering. A few flyers that may be helpful are the Jill2016 Student Flyer, Million Student March Flyer, YGR Customizable Flyer, and YGR Customizable Poster. Make sure to post and find other local events on the Grassroots Events Calendar.





4. Connect with Other Young Greens on Social Media



It can be helpful to see what other Young Greens are doing nationwide. In addition to other chapters below, check out the Youth Caucus of the Green Party Website, Youth Caucus Facebook Page, Youth Caucus Facebook Group, and Young Greens Rising [for Jill Stein] Facebook Group.
