Question Posted Tuesday September 20 2005, 4:07 pm
i want to go to the UK with my friend on this trip as a student ambassador (because we both got accepted) but it costs a ton, like we need fundraising ideas. so far we have:
babysitting, bake sale, petsit, dog walking, watering plants/ rake leaves/shovel driveways, teaching people about the computer (AIM and stuff), lemonade stand, cookies, garage sale, make keychains, sell candy bars, homemade doggie treats, sell stickers, bracelets, car wash
Can someone please like tell me the name of a company that does fundraising ideas, or just give more ideas ? like suggest something else or tell me a compmany that lets you fundraise. like a girl at my school is selling chocolate for her choir group from this chocolate company...anyone know anything? thanks!
Additional info, added Tuesday September 20 2005, 4:53 pm: im too young to get a real job, and i would like to keep it simple, (not a big event) but a really good moneymaker idea..thanks! I rate all 5's for good answers.. Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category? Maybe give some free advice about: School?

It shows integrity and character on your part.
However, you and your parents would do well to first check out these two sites first regarding the People to People Student Ambassador Program.
If after reading the information there you and family still feel you should go, then by all means raise money toward that trip. Good luck!
If you and your parents want to make a fully informed decision on whether you should go on this trip, you should read the statement made by Iowa Attorney General's Office earlier this summer:
P.S. I notice you say that you are too young to get a real job. Perhaps instead you and your parents should go on a family vacation together to the UK for about the same amount of money (or less) that is required to be raised to pay for this Student Ambassador trip to the UK.

YOu could sell some stuff like on ebay lol. Um... you have alot of good ideas! Maybe ask your parents for an allowence or go to your grandparents/aunts/unlce/cousins/brother/sister/ etc. and do yard work or clean for them. You could clean peoples houses for them like a maid. YOu could be a tutor. Get a job some kids can get a job at age 15 maybe even 14. HOPE I HELPED! [ soccergurlie1220's advice column | Ask soccergurlie1220 A Question ]
