NBLSA C.A.R.E.S. (Contributing through Advocacy, Resources, Education, and Service)
Human Trafficking
- Human Trafficking is the national issue NBLSA will be address as it deals with UN Human Rights laws and sovereign nations' immigration laws. Local chapters will implement a program of their choice to educate and bring awareness to the issue. Chapters are free to partner with organizations that advocate against Human Trafficking. This program can be implemented anytime beginning October 2011 through April 2012.
Haiti Service Trip
- NBLSA has been providing assistance in Haiti since 2007. The annual service trip to Haiti gives members the opportunity to assist in continued earthquake relief efforts and the opportunity to assist the underprivileged. The service trip to Haiti will take place January 2012 during winter break. Participation is limited so there will be an application process.
Africa Service Trip
- This is a NEW service trip opportunity NBLSA is working to provide for its members. The service trip to Africa will focus on our national issue of Human Trafficking. Members will have the opportunity to assist in combating this international issue abroad in Africa. This will take place in January 2012. Participation is limited so there will be an application process.
International Book Drive
In an effort to promote child literacy, NBLSA will be working with International Book Project to donate books and raise funds towards creating a library in a country in desperate need of a library. Local chapters should organize a children's book drive, fundraiser, or both beginning October 3, 2011 and lasting through December 9, 2011. The books and funds will be shipped to International Book Project.
