How do I do it? Steps to success

Step 1: Learn more about AVSI’s initiatives and discuss with friends and family. Choose one campaign to focus on.

Step 2: Decide whether to host an event or simply raise funds. Plan ahead as best as you can and keep costs low to maximize your return.

Step 3: Contact AVSI-USA to learn more. Inform us of your plans so we can be in touch with more information about each campaign. Think about your long-term plan upfront. One-time donations are very much appreciated, but the real value is when you can successfully use an event to launch people into a commitment that endures over time.

Step 4: Form your team and begin planning! Download materials (see below) and reach out for support as needed.

Step 5: Host your event, and don’t forget to bring the camera! Document your event and reflect on your experience.

Step 6: Spend a few minutes to reflect on your experience with those who helped and those who attended; write it up and share!
