Mobilize Overview

The 1010 Project addresses systemic global poverty by creating awareness, initiating action, being advocates and ultimately encouraging participants to become activists in concert with the world’s marginalized.

Our Mobilize Program utilizes five components: Web-Based Initiatives, Events, Networking, Service Learning, and Internships.

• Web-Based Initiatives – Our web-based initiatives educate, connect, and encourage participants through a variety of digital mediums: website, e-newsletters, and social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
• Community Events – Our events offer participants the opportunity to interact with staff, volunteers, partners, and board members. Events include, but are not limited to, campus-based activities, movie nights, concerts, benefit dinners, community dinners, art shows, global inequity banquets, and open houses.
• Networking – Our networking involves collaborating with like-minded entities working within the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. We have collaborated with businesses, universities, religious institutions, government institutions, and nonprofit organizations – all concerned with breaking the cycle of poverty.
• Service Learning – Our service learning initiative provides students and other adults with an opportunity to listen, learn, and serve alongside our partners in the field. This experience epitomizes our two-fold approach to global poverty, emphasizing both development and advocacy. Participants have included high school students, college students, and adults in the community.
• Internships – Our internships offer participants the opportunity to have real leadership and responsibility within the organization. Interns and volunteers are the driving force of our Advocacy work and the organization in general.
