You're a LOCO!
For some of us, handing out OrangeBands once in a while and putting together an event or two just isn't enough. If you are eager to put together a team of friends, colleagues, students, or community members, you can be a Local OrangeBand Chapter Organizer (LOCO)!
OrangeBand chapters provide their members a number of benefits:
- The feeling of making a difference
- A chance to use creative, professional, and leadership skills all at once
- The chance to build an idea from the ground up
- The chance to work with a team of people interested in promoting respectful conversation - and democracy
- The chance to be a rockstar in the Rock and Roll of Democracy
OrangeBand chapters can coordinate any or all of the following activites:
- OrangeBand distributions
- Single discussion events
- One- or two-week Action Campaigns
- Weekly discussions
- Fundraisers and publicity events
- Local media outreach to promote message and upcoming events
- Website maintenance
Local OrangeBand Chapter Organizers get access to resources and support:
