New Chapter Guide

By Erin Schulte and Jessica Hocken

Co-Founders of All Walks Project

Welcome!
Welcome to the All Walks Project anti-trafficking community and congratulations on
taking the first steps toward leading a movement that will create real change in your
community and around the world!
All Walks Project members serve several vital roles in their communities, including:
Acting as Awareness Ambassadors: All members will be trained to teach others about
human trafficking, and each chapter will select a small group of members to act as
official Awareness Ambassadors. These members will be specifically trained to give
presentations about trafficking to student organizations, on-campus classes and others
by request.
Hosting human trafficking awareness events: Each chapter will host at least one
awareness event per semester. Awareness events might include:
Documentary screenings
Speaker events
Information sessions
Social media campaigns
Collaborative events with a relevant school department, student organization, or local
nonprofit
Hosting an annual Human Trafficking Awareness Week: All new All Walks Project
chapters will also participate as part of The McCain Institutes Student Alliance Against
Trafficking program. The mission of the Student Alliance is to unite and empower a
national network of student activists to combat human trafficking by amplifying
awareness, encouraging advocacy and deterring related behaviors that contribute to
human trafficking. Each year, all Student Alliance partners will dedicate the last week in
January to educating students about human trafficking. Promotional and educational
materials will be provided, and partners will work closely with their AWP representative
and The McCain Institute to plan the event.
Supporting a Sister School. Each chapter can partner with a school in an area where
individuals are vulnerable to human trafficking. Chapters will host a supply collection
drive or a fundraiser each year to provide at-risk children with supplies and scholarships
to support their continued attendance at school. Education and opportunity are key
components in preventing human trafficking.

Steps for Creating a New Chapter:

Step 1: Register the student organization with your school

o Find and read your schools guide on new club filing procedures
o Fill out the New Chapter Constitution and submit it to your school along
with other necessary paperwork
Step 2: Find other student leaders to join the executive board
o You will often find these leaders during your on-campus marketing efforts
Step 3: Decide on a regular meeting place and time
o Reserve that meeting place at the chosen time for every two weeks until
the end of the semester
Step 4: Select a Sister School
Step 5: Read the Human Trafficking 101 Guide
Step 6: Read the Meeting and Event Planning Guide
Step 7: File an initial funding request with your school*
o Create an initial funding budget
Step 8: Create a social media page for your chapter
Step 9: Fill out your AWP Chapter Confirmation Form and send it to your AWP
Representative
Step 10: Start marketing the club to your fellow students

*If your school does not provide funding, please email your AWP Representative.

Step 1: Register Your Student Organization

4
It is important that you follow your schools specific guidelines to properly register your student
organization. Below are some general guidelines to help in organizing your new club.

Find a minimum of two initial members to help create the club.

Ask a teacher or professor to act as an advisor for the club.
Fill out the highlighted portions of the New Chapter Constitution (See Appendix A).
Fill out any additional paperwork required by your school.
Submit the paperwork and the constitution to your school.
Once the registration is confirmed, proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Set Up the Executive Board

Having an effective and passionate executive board is one of the most important factors to
ensure your chapters success. When looking to set up your first executive board, think about
who among your peers would make great leaders. You can also create an online application
through Google Forms and advertise it to other students. You can then choose from the
applicants based on their skills and experience. Formalizing the process can ensure you attract
the best possible candidates.
You may want to set up committees and have one or two officers oversee each committee.
Possible committees include an Event Planning Committee, an Awareness Ambassador
Committee, and a Public Relations Committee.

Here is a sample executive board structure that has worked well for our pilot chapter:
President
Plans and presides over meetings
Oversees events and the Event Planning Committee
Ensures that the other officers are completing their duties on time
Vice President
Assists with meeting planning
Coordinates food for each meeting
Oversees the Awareness Ambassadors committee
Secretary
Sends email reminders about each meeting to members
Follows up each meeting by sending out meeting minutes to members
Posts meeting announcements to social media and school listservs
Creates general operations budgets and requests funds each semester
Marketing Coordinator
Creates, prints and, distributes flyers for meetings and events
Oversees the Public Relations Committee
Posts event announcements on social media and school listservs
Events Coordinator
Works with the President to plan events and to head the Event Planning Committee
Creates budgets for events and requests funds
Nonprofit Liaison
(This can be a separate position, or this can be included in the Presidents duties)
Work with AWP Representative to coordinate joint efforts
Report on the chapters activities on a biweekly or monthly basis

5
It is important for each officer to know what their job is and how/when to do it. This will allow
your chapter to continue to operate effectively and efficiently.

Step 3: Decide on a Meeting Place and Time

Work with your school to find a place to hold your meetings. A classroom within a centrallylocated and easily identifiable building would be best at a time when most students do not
attend classes. If your clubs meeting time is close to a meal time, it is important to provide food
to both motivate student attendance and prevent students from having to decide to miss a meal
when attending a meeting.
Once you have decided on an ideal meeting place and time, contact your school to reserve a
room at that time every two weeks for the rest of the semester or year. This consistency will
allow your members to schedule their courses and extracurricular activities around meetings.

Step 4: Select a Sister School

Once you have reached this step, please email All Walks Project at allwalksproject@gmail.com
and we will assign you an All Walks Project (AWP) Representative. Please ask your
Representative to provide a list of the available Sister Schools. Think about a region where you
would like to support a Sister School, then consider how you want to support this school and its
students. Your chapter can support a school by sponsoring a collection drive for:
Backpacks
Notebooks
Calculators
Pens and pencils
A whiteboard or chalkboard
Uniforms

Your chapter can also hold a fundraiser to buy supplies or support at-risk childrens education
with a scholarship. You MUST inform your AWP Representative of your intent to host a
fundraiser at least two weeks in advance. Fundraising activities might include:
Crowdfunding (through websites like Indigogo.com, etc.)
5K race
Sports tournaments
Restaurant fundraisers (where a portion of their profits go towards the cause)
Selling a product or service where the proceeds go towards the cause
Dance-A-Thon

Step 5: Human Trafficking Training

All Walks Project will host live, online trainings in September, October and February every year
to orient members with human trafficking. Each chapter should attend an online training to be

6
properly informed and able to educate others. Below is list of valuable online resources to begin
to understand human trafficking:
The McCain Institute's Human Trafficking Conversation Series
DHS Blue Campaign Human Trafficking 101
www.endsextrafficking.az.gov

Step 6: Meeting and Event Planning Guide

You are now prepared to start running your own All Walks Project chapter! Here are a couple of
tips to ensure your chapters success in day-to-day operations and in event coordination.

Meeting Planning Suggestions

Start advertising each meeting at least four days in advance.
Have all meeting attendees sign in with their name and email onto an excel spreadsheet. This
will make it easy to track your number of attendees and to add their emails to the mailing list.
Create a timeline that informs each officer of the tasks that they must complete leading up to a
meeting. See below for a sample timeline.
Monday
President: Brainstorm ideas for the meeting and start creating a new meeting PowerPoint.
Marketing Coordinator: Put up flyers around campus.
Secretary: Send out an initial email about meeting to all members.
Tuesday
Secretary: Post meeting announcement on the chapters social media and to the schools
listserv.
Wednesday
Vice President: Place an order for the meetings food.
Thursday (Meeting day!)
Secretary: Send out a reminder email to members, post a reminder on social media, and take
notes at the meeting.
President/VP: Run the meeting.
Events Coordinator: Work with other officers and members to plan upcoming events or outreach
strategies.
Friday
Secretary: Send out meeting minutes to all members.
Event Planning Suggestions
Begin planning for each event at least four weeks in advance. This will allow you to create a
budget, request funding, reserve the event location, order supplies, etc, in time for the event.
Start advertising each event at least ten days prior.
Have all event attendees sign in with their name and email via an excel spreadsheet. This
will make it easy to track your number of attendees and to add their emails to the mailing list.
Make sure that your events time and location are convenient for students. If students tend
not to be on campus on Friday, then try to hold your event earlier in the week.
Choose recognizable venues for your events. If most students dont know where a building
is located, then the attendance likely will not be very good for that event.

Host your events on campus. Student attendance decreases dramatically when events are
held off-campus.
Reserving the event location and confirming any speakers should be #1 on your priority
list. Be sure to do so before you start to advertise your event. Handle these logistics weeks
prior to the event so that you can begin marketing your event with ample time to attract
attendees.
When creating your event budget, remember to take the details into account. Will you
provide parking validation for your guests? (If parking is not free, you should at minimum
provide validations for any speakers.) Will you need paper plates and plastic forks, or will the
caterer supply those materials? Do you need tape to post flyers?
Sample event planning timeline:
Four Weeks Prior:
Solidify event plans and send an Event Notification Form to your AWP Representative.
Reach out to any speakers to confirm their availability.
Once you have confirmed any speakers availability, request to reserve the event venue.
Create an event budget and submit a funding request to your school. If your school does not
provide event funding, please contact your AWP Representative.
If you are using lawn signs to advertise this event, design and order them.
Three Weeks Prior:
Once the event funding is approved, order any event supplies that must be shipped to you.
Create event flyers and have them printed.
Reserve parking for speakers, if possible.
Two Weeks Prior:
Begin to post flyers around campus.
Create a public (NOT private!) Facebook event page and begin to invite other students to
attend.
If you are using lawn signs to advertise this event, start to set them up across campus.
One Week Prior:
Place the event catering order.
Buy any remaining necessary supplies from local stores.
Post an event announcement on social media and on your schools listserv.
Invite more students to the Facebook event page and post in the page to remind those that
have already RSVPd.
Send out an initial meeting announcement to all members.
Post any remaining flyers and lawn signs around campus.
Day of the Event:
Send out a reminder email to all members.
Post a reminder in the Facebook event page.
Set up and run the event!
Measuring your event impact:
Measuring your event impact is very important. These metrics help All Walks Project
determine the best ways to educate college students on these issues and prove that
your chapters events are impactful This can lead to more funding and resources for all
chapters.
Some methods for measuring your events impact include requiring students to sign in at
an event or RSVP beforehand, counting the number of attendees, keeping track of how

8
many people post about an event on social media, and pre/post surveys to determine
how attendees knowledge and beliefs are altered by an event.
Event Budget Example:

Step 7: File a Funding Request

Your chapter may need to secure funds to host meetings and awareness events, and creating a
budget is an important part of filing a funding request with either your school or with All Walks
Project. If your school does not provide funding to student organizations, please email
allwalksproject@gmail.com. All Walks Project may be able to guide you to or provide additional
financial support.
Here are some important tips on budget creation:
1. Determine the scope of your budget. Is this budget for general meeting operations? For a
specific event? For example purposes, the following steps will be specifically for general
meeting operations budgets.
2. Decide what items or services you need. Common items you will need for general meeting
operations are:
a. T-shirts
b. Food
c. Flyers
d. Tape

9
3. Find prices per unit or per meeting for those items/services. For example, decide how
much you want to spend on pizza for each meeting.
4. Write the budget. Make sure to include the per unit cost, the number of units you need per
meeting, and the total cost (including tax). Here is a sample budget:

Once you have created your budget, follow your schools funding submission procedures to
apply for funding.

Step 8: Create a Social Media Presence

Facebook Group Page
The one social media presence that your chapter must maintain is a Facebook group page.
Creating a Facebook group is a great way to engage with your chapter members. A Facebook
group page can foster discussion on project ideas and ways to engage students, facilitate
networking, and help the members feel like a part of a community.

Uses for the Facebook group:

Advertising meetings and events
Keeping track of your members
Discussing current events, awareness campaign ideas, etc.
Keeping people engaged and interested in the chapter
Spreading your online awareness campaigns
Linking your chapter to All Walks Project.

Other Useful Forms of Social Media Presence

While Facebook is a very effective way to collaborate with other students, it is helpful to have
multiple forms of social media connected to your chapter. These might include:
Twitter accounts.
Instagram accounts.
A customized geofilter on Snapchat for events. (https://www.snapchat.com/geofilters)

Step 9: Fill out Chapter Forms

All Walks Project requires an initial commitment form and chapter check-in forms to be a
recognized chapter. All Walks Project will send links to these forms to the email that we have on
file for your chapter, so be sure to inform your AWP Representative if that email changes.
Please remember to fill out these forms in a timely manner.
Chapter Commitment Form (See Appendix B)

10
Chapter Update Form (Online): This form will need to be completed by October 15th, December
15th, and March 15th.
Awareness Week Planning Form (Online): Please send this to us by October 1st so we can
ensure any necessary funding or resources for your chapters awareness week.
Post-Awareness Week Debrief Form (Online): Please send this to us within two weeks after
your awareness week.
End of the Year Form (Appendix D): This form will need to be filled out, signed, and emailed to
your AWP Representative by June 1st. This form will inform us who will be in charge of your
chapter next year.

Step 10: Market your Club and Events

Marketing is one of the most important factors in attracting new members and making your
awareness week successful. A few approaches you can take with your marketing strategy
include:
1. Flyers
a. Flyers can be an effective way to reach students on campus. You can pass them out at other
events to advertise your meetings, or they can be displayed in appropriate areas. See Appendix
C for an example flyer template.
2. Online/Social Media
a. Making a Facebook event, posting on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc, can be great ways to
ensure student participation in your chapter and to remind students of chapter events.
3. University Listservs
a. Discern whether your university has any sort of a newsletter or listserv that they send out to
students. Use these tools to regularly submit information about the chapters activities in order
to help attract university-wide attention.
4. Lawn Signs
a. Placing lawn signs (AKA H-stake signs) around campus in busy areas can be an influential
marketing strategy. Make sure that your university allows students to do this before you plan to
use this as a part of your strategy, and be sure to factor the lawn signs into your budget
because they can be expensive!
Remember, you marketing strategy does not need to be limited to this list. You know what works
best at your school, so use that knowledge to tailor the marketing strategy to fit your own
campus. For example, if there is a specific bulletin board that your campus uses to advertise
events, that space should be utilized.

Congratulations!
You are well on your way to making a difference in your community and around the world. You
are joining a diverse and passionate group of students, and the connections that you make as a
part of the All Walks Project Chapter Network will be invaluable as you help combat human
trafficking. In our pilot chapters first year at Arizona State University, All Walks@ASU impacted
more than 20,000 students. With the addition of other outstanding chapters, the All Walks
Project Chapter Network has the increased potential to reach thousands more nationwide.
Here is an example of how the AWP Chapter Network is impacting local communities:
On the evening of September 4, 2016, one of the AllWalks@ASU officers called me
frantically. She told me that she was at the Memorial Union on campus when she
noticed a man approaching multiple young women, one after the other. He eventually
walked over to her table and started asking her questions, trying to get personal
information out of her. And the second that Sarah mentioned that she was waiting for her
boyfriend, he immediately got up and walked away from her. Sarah saw him approach
another girl, and unfortunately he was more successful this time. She saw them get up
to leave together.
Based on the Sex Trafficking 101 training she had received, Sarah recognized this as
incredibly suspicious behavior that was consistent with a potential trafficker. Therefore,
she was able to call the police and intervene in a situation that very easily might have
gone VERY wrong for that girl. I just wanted to share this all with you as evidence that
what we do is making a huge difference in our community, and to also illustrate that
things like this really are happening to college students on our campus.
-Erin Schulte, Co-Founder of All Walks Project

Trafficking is under everyones nose. Youve seen it.

You just didnt know what you were looking at.

Chair, McCain Institute Human Trafficking Advisory Council
Co-Chair, Governors Arizona Human Trafficking Council
