Calling all high school & college students! Want to make the world a better place and have a chance to win the trip of a lifetime while completing your community service hours? We’ve got just the thing for you: Invisible Children’s 2010 Schools for Schools program.

More than 2 decades of war left much of Uganda without access to education. Families were displaced, schools were abandoned, thousands of children were kidnapped and used as soldiers, and a generation grew up knowing nothing but war and violence.

Now that the LRA rebel army has left Uganda, Invisible Children is working to make sure that the next generation of leaders have access to quality education. They’re changing the course of history and asking you to be a part of it.

Here’s how it works:

- Sign up your school here. Be sure to check this page and make sure that yours isn’t already signed up.
- Rally the troops! Work with friends, teachers and your student government to get the word out on campus and start raising that dough.
- Turn in all funds by December 17th. The top schools will be announced on the 22nd, and each will have the opportunity to send a representative to Uganda to see the impact, firsthand.

Put “Change for Change” jars in classrooms, find out if $1 from each ticket to a dance can be donated, sell treats at football games or lunch, throw an s4s party. Check out the list of fundraising ideas that have been successful for other schools here.

The TV network Halogen will match donations up to $1,000 per school for a total of up to $100,000. Earn your school’s first $1,000 quickly to have it doubled!

Starting a tradition like this at your school would be a pretty sweet addition to any college app., but the best part is knowing that YOU are creating a better future for someone.

Whether you're a high school student, a 20-something, or a retiree, you can earn donations to help educate war-affected children in Uganda by supporting Invisible Children on SocialVibe.
