Archive:SCDC Buddy System

The SCDC has the exciting but lonely distinction of being the first established local free culture student group. At the first physical meeting of FreeCulture.org on April 23rd, when students from several colleges were in the same meeting room as several SCDC activists, we hit upon the idea of pairing up SCDC members with free culture activists on other campuses who are trying to start groups, providing a "buddy" to make sure that each isolated free culture activist will have all the materials and support that they need to successfully launch a new student group at their school next fall when we all return to school. It is also useful for SCDC members to "buddy up" with non-students who have experience and knowhow and can help us succeed in our movement, to make sure that we get their input.

It is possible that "buddy system" is a stupid name for this project. Perhaps "activist apprentice program"? Nah, that's kind of lame too. Feel free to suggest others :-)

There are of course a limited number of SCDC members available, although SCDC members can of course have multiple friends and contacts. However, if you're interested in starting a club at your school, sign up here, and we'll try to help you get rolling!

Help, I need a buddy!
You too can have a friend at the SCDC :-D Put your name here and contact us!
