Over the past two years, SFL has successfully supported student groups through virtual interactions (e.g. our website, email, teleconferences, webinars, etc.). This virtual support has allowed SFL to grow our network to an unprecedented size (290 student groups) with minimal costs thanks to the power of modern technology. In order to expand SFL’s support for student groups by providing additional resources, more individualized assistance, and additional training for young leaders of liberty, SFL needs to provide on-the-ground leadership. To do this, SFL has created a new leadership level for the 2010-2011 school year: Campus Coordinators (CCs). CCs will serve as libertarian community organizers, building the student movement for liberty in their area by starting and growing liberty groups and activities.
SFL has selected 30 CCs for the inaugural class. These young activists are a mix of current students and recent alumni who have demonstrated success at leading students on their own campuses and who are now ready to help students at nearby campuses. Since May, these CCs have participated in a rigorous training curriculum with monthly readings and weekly webinars on topics ranging from “The History of SFL” to “How to Run a Regional Conference” to “How to Hold a Successful Event on Campus.” The training culminates in a weekend retreat in Washington DC, at the Cato Institute, where CCs meet in person for the first time and complete their training. For the 2010-2011 school year, each CC will be responsible for 10 campuses in their surrounding area where they will identify pro-liberty students, support the founding of new pro-liberty student groups, and generally help spread the message of liberty on campus.
