Events Information
Hosting an event? Here you will find the information you need to get started. Follow each step to make sure you’re on the right track!
Step 1: Determine Your Event
After checking the Activities page, you should have an idea of the activity you’re hosting. Meet up with your Firefox Club or recruit your friends to join you in planning and execution.
Step 2: Get Help
If you’re planning a large-scale event, reach out to your Regional Ambassador Lead(s) for guidance. Better yet, find Firefox Student Ambassadors in your area. Don’t be afraid to contact Club Lead(s) from other schools to ask for tips and tricks in hosting your event. Or if you can handle it by yourself, do so! Be a leader, think outside the box, and get things done.
Request For Swag
If your event may require some swag, please see here for information on requesting. This request process is only available to students registered in the program and Regional Ambassador Leads. Remember that we have limited resources and can only support a few events each month. Always try to find other ways to encourage people to come!
Need Proof?
Oftentimes teachers, departments, and administrators will ask you to show proof that you are a Firefox Student Ambassador in order to throw events on campus. If this is the case, please fill this form out to receive identification from a member of the FSA Executive Board.
Step 3: Promote Your Event
Always, always market your event to ensure people show up! Here’s a checklist:
- Make posters, print out fliers, and post them around school! You can even give classroom announcements or ask your teacher to tell your classmates for you.
- Create a Facebook Event and invite all your friends at your college. Ask them to invite people too.
- Write a blog post about the upcoming event and send the link around.
- Frequently post on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, Instagram, or any social media channel you have about the event. You can even e-mail your contacts! Hashtag your city, state, or country and #firefoxstudents to get more reach.
- Fill out this Events Form so we can add your event to our Events List below.
Get creative and think of more ways to promote your event that will work at your college!
Step 4: Document Your Event
Take pictures, meet the attendees, and live tweet! After the event, be sure to write a blog post about the results. Talk about things like what you did, what your impact was (# of downloads, attendees, apps, makes, etc.), and share some photos and links. Your fellow Ambassadors love reading your blog posts to get inspired on activity ideas. Show the world your hard work!
