About Public Service Campaign
Along with hosting networking and professional events for students and young professionals, Ad 2 DC has the honor to participate in National Ad 2’s Public Service Campaign. Each year, the chapter will participate in the Public Service campaign by choosing a local non-profit organization and executing an advertising/marketing campaign. The campaign varies based on the needs of the client: whether it’s promotion, brand awareness, logo design or media and interactive elements. With hundreds of non-profits in the DC metro area, Ad 2 DC has the advantage of helping various non-profits in the years to come.
About Teaching for Change
For the inaugural Public Service campaign, Ad 2 DC has chosen Teaching for Change as the non-profit organization. Teaching for Change, based in DC, “provides teachers and parents with the tools to transform schools into centers of justice where students learn to read, write and change the world.” Teaching for Change was established in 1989 and believes that schools can educate and inspire students to become pioneers of a better world. Teaching for Change has several programs: professional development through workshops and courses of selected publications, parent power, publications, including the Zinn Education Project. On a local level, Teaching for Change operates a “progressive bookstore located in the Busboys and Poets restaurant and performance space at 14th and V Streets NW.” Each book in the store is carefully selected and the profits from purchases benefit their programs. Teaching for Change is celebrating their 20th Anniversary.
