ActiveYouth02/03 -- a celebration of youth activism at the University of Toronto -- requires dedicated people. Numerous positions need to be filled in order to make this dynamic event a success: > 1A) SENIOR PROMOTIONS COORDINATOR: This Coordinator will be primarily responsible for developing and implementing an ActiveYouth advertising strategy. The Coordinator will be responsible for managing a small team whose task is to promote the event. Assistant coordinators will be assigned as needed. Promotion of the event to students and the general public is required. All types of print and other media avenues should be considered in a broad communication strategy. The basic design for an ActiveYouth webpage will be communicated to a webpage designer, but the Coordinator will not necessarily be directly creating such pages. > 1B) JUNIOR PROMOTIONS COORDINATOR: This Coordinator is responsible for working with the Senior Promotions Coordinator and executing the advertising strategy of the event. Duties will vary, but will certainly include placing of advertising in appropriate media, and helping to design and carry out the strategy. Assistant Coordinators will be assigned as needed. > 2A) MEDIA COORDINATOR: This Coordinator will be primarily responsible for interaction with all media including print media and radio/television media. A major objective of ActiveYouth is a strong media presence in order to inform and engage the broader community. The Coordinator will be primarily responsible for issuing selected press releases, as well as maintaining follow-up contact with all reporters and other media members in order to ensure a strong media presence. Duties will not include general advertising/promotion, except as regards informing specific members of the media. This Coordinator will also manage all special seating needs and press badge identification during the ActiveYouth event, as well as preparation and operation of a briefing room for interviews during the final stages of the event. A Junior Media Coordinator may also be assigned, depending upon need. > 3A) PUBLIC INFORMATION COORDINATOR: This Coordinator is responsible or gathering all needed information from our speakers and members of our Discussion Panel (academics and professionals). This Coordinator is also required to manage and administer the public information email addresses that ActiveYouth has, so that the public may ask questions and send comments. In addition, this Coordinator will ensure all basic biographical material on our speakers and panel members is available for the public during the event, as well as referring specific queries to their appropriate Coordinator(s). Duties will not include media relations or advertising/promotions. Other duties may vary, and a Junior Public Information Coordinator may also be assigned, depending upon need. > 4A) AUDIOVISUAL COORDINATOR: This Coordinator is primarily responsible for operation and organization of all audiovisual requirements for the ActiveYouth event. This includes video slide presentations, lighting, microphone requirements, media power supplies, and operation of the audiovisual console at Convocation Hall. In addition, this Coordinator may be required to coordinate the creation of a 2-minute introductory video which will begin the ActiveYouth event. If any filming of the event takes place, the Coordinator will not be required to direct such filming, but may choose to coordinate their activities with the film staff to ensure a harmonious outcome and mutual cooperation. > In addition, we may have several more positions to be filled in the near future. These will be posted soon. In particular, we may require Junior Coordinator positions for several of the positions listed above. At the present time, the only Junior Coordinator that we are certain that we need is that of Junior Promotions Coordinator. Other possible coordination requirements are in the areas of a) finance/treasurer, b) staff to manage the overall event setup at Convocation Hall, c) staff to manage our discussion panel, and d) staff to manage our special guests. > Anyone interested in any of the above positions is encouraged to contact: Kevin Schenk Executive Coordinator ActiveYouth02/03 kevin.schenk@xxxxxxxxxxx (416) 946-7427
