1 UNICEF at UGA Constitution Article I: Club Name The club name, UNICEF at UGA, conveys a group of UGA students coming together to spread awareness about UNICEF on the University of Georgia campus. UNICEF at UGA does not claim to be an organization created by UNICEF, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, or the University of Georgia. It is a registered student run organization at the University of Georgia and a registered Campus Initiative Group. (All Campus Initiative Groups are recognized by the U.S. Fund for UNICEF as clubs founded and run by college and university students at their respective institutions to contribute to the work of UNICEF.) Article II: Statement of Purpose As a quickly growing grassroots movement, UNICEF s Campus Initiative at UGA s establishment is rooted in the firm belief that college students have the capabilities to bring positive change to the lives of children all over the world. In particular, UNICEF at UGA supports UNICEF s child survival work in over 150 countries. UNICEF at UGA emphasizes three central realms of interest: Education, Advocacy, and Fundraising. Through such areas of action, students have the opportunity to participate in community service that benefits children locally and internationally, spread awareness of UNICEF s work and global issues affecting children, and/or fund raise to support UNICEF s aid programs both on and off campus. Education: Awareness is a key component of UNICEF at UGA s campus programming. As delegates and representatives of UNICEF, it is crucial to educate our members, our campus, and our community about UNICEF s global movement for child survival. Such educational outlets include, but are not limited to: lectures, guest speakers, movies or discussions, local volunteer work which also includes special interest categories which focus on issues central to child survival, such as early childhood health, immunization, education, HIV/AIDS, and child protection and emergencies. Direct service is great way to grasp the importance of these issues in the United States. Advocacy: Education and political advocacy are the most crucial forms of promoting awareness to UNICEF s work. Educational advocacy includes activities that raise awareness about child survival issues. Political advocacy involves communicating with public officials or the general public to affect legislation and public policy. UNICEF's political advocacy efforts are highly structured and overseen by the U.S. Fund for UNICEF s Office of Public Policy and Advocacy. UNICEF at UGA is only engaged in political advocacy on behalf of UNICEF when the public is encouraged to participate in UNICEF supported legislation.

2 Fundraising: This is a critical component of the Campus Initiative Club work with UNICEF at UGA and essential to UNICEF s global success. Through fundraising efforts on and off campus and in the Athens Clarke County Area, participating in the Trick or Treat for UNICEF Campaign, raising funds online, et cetera, UNICEF at UGA works to advance the goals of UNICEF s global efforts. Article III: Structure To fulfill its goals, UNICEF at UGA is divided into three committees: Community Outreach Committee, Awareness and Publicity Committee, and Fundraising Committee. The President, Vice President, and Treasurer lead and manage the club, while the Chair of Community Outreach, Chair of Awareness and Publicity, and Chair of Fundraising oversee their respective committees. A total of four themes per academic year, translating as two themes per semester, should be created in order to promote excitement outside of the club, and more importantly, focus and organization within the club. Events and activities should have relevance to the theme of that respective period of that semester.

Non university

6 people can be club participants as Associate Members who cannot vote or be an officer. Members are highly encouraged to attend all general meetings, join a committee, and participate in club events. Although members are not required to remain in one committee for an entire year, they are expected to stay within a committee for the full semester before joining another one the following semester. Beyond his/her responsibilities within his/her commitment to his/her respective committee, a member is encouraged to engage in the activities of other committees. Members will be recruited during Fall and Winter Activity Fairs held in the Fall Semester and beginning of Spring Semester, as well as the first three weeks of the Fall and Spring Semesters. However, because UNICEF for UGA s new member recruitment encourages year round informal recruitment, various recruitment events will be held throughout the spring and fall semesters. Flyers, announcements in classes, tabling, and other outlets shall be used for recruitment. New members may join at any time throughout the school year after submitting an application that includes general contact information, a list of personal and club goals for the year, the Anti Harassment Policy, et cetera. Upon submitting an official membership application, a five dollar donation fee will be collected from the Official New Member.

The University of Georgia and UNICEF at UGA does not condone hazing in any form. Hazing is defined as any intentional, negligent, or reckless action, activity or situation that causes another pain, embarrassment, ridicule or harassment, regardless of the individual s willingness to participate. Article VIII: General and Officer Meetings There shall be five general meetings per semester. The meetings shall take place during every second week of every month in the semester, excluding exam week.

An advisor can be anyone employed by the school as a member of the faculty, staff or administration. Advisors are essential to the success of the student groups, as they provide consistency and sustainability to the Clubs; however, Advisors should not serve as the primary contact or leader of the group. They should serve, rather, as a mentor, coach, or guide. An advisor s role is defined as follows: Meet with student leaders on a monthly or at least regular basis.

Only the President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Faculty Advisor can deposit money and checks, as well as withdraw money for donations and reimbursements. The club financial account shall be used to hold all funds raised for UNICEF donations and club expenses. All club financial activities shall be tracked using the club financial logbook. The logbook shall be maintained by the President, Vice President, and Treasurer, and may be reviewed by any current officer at any time upon request.
