Purpose of a Council
Education & Awareness
Councils work to educate their peers about safety and the importance of knowing your surroundings so that we can call people out by blowing a whistle (literally) or contacting the authorities about suspicious activity. We are doing early interventions on people who are suspicious to us.
Activism Initiatives
Members organize events, discussions, and outreach activities to promote their message and engage with the student body (at high schools or universities) or in their local city with the Lions Club, Quanas Club, Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce and other organizations that are looking for speakers.
Networking
Councils aim to build a network of like-minded individuals who can support each other in their activism efforts and foster a community of safety, knowing their surroundings and calling people out when needed by blowing a whistle (literally) and contacting the authorities. We are teaching people about early interventions skills.
Organizing Events
Councils are responsible for planning and executing at least one activism initiative per academic semester. Councils in a city should be having an open meeting at least one time per quarter.
Peer and Social Engagements
They often set up "tabling" events in high-traffic areas to discuss their ideas and recruit new members either at schools and universities or at Rotary, Knights of Columbus Halls, Chamber of Commerce meetings, and other clubs.
Structure
Each council must have an executive board, including positions like President, Vice President, and Treasurer, to manage its operations effectively.
