How To Help As A Teenager
Are you a teenager or young adult and do not know how to help? Here below are some creative ideas that you guys can use to contribute to this cause. Honestly for teens, just trying to ask for donations can be boring… SO go ahead and take inspiration from these ideas below.
Non-Vietnamese Residents
Run your own fundraisers:
One common fundraiser that teens often do is a bake sale, but feel free to be as creative as you want! Here are a list of creative things that people with all types of passions can participate in: a clothing or thrift swap where you can charge an entry fee, make-your-own-tote-bag station, tutoring for a cause where you tutor for donations, or host a Vietnamese related event and sell tickets and have donation jars.
Promote the project on social media:
You can follow us on social media and repost us on your story. You can also make digital art and send it into us, and we will also repost it. Just creating an awareness campaign or reposting is better than nothing at all.
Write a passionate letter:
It is not a bad idea at all to write to representatives or administrators in Vietnam regarding this topic. In your letter, you can state that you are working with this project, the problem you want to help solve, your proposed solution, and why it matters so much to you. Write to people who are not as popular, but still are in a position of power so that you are heard.
Start a chapter or partnerships:
If you want to start a chapter/club for this project at your school, please go to contact and indicate in your message what school you go to, where it is located, what your leadership and other skills are, and why you feel like you can lead this chapter. You can also connect with local libraries or small artists and collaborate with them.
