In order to have meaningful control of our online lives we have to understand our choices.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why the <strong>Take Back The Web Campaign<\/strong> is looking for students and mentors like you, who are ready to work together to raise awareness and empower people on your campus to make informed choices about how personal information is used online.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to make a difference, it\u2019s as easy as building your team and applying!<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nStep one.<\/strong> Put together a great team! You\u2019ll need 2-5 members on your team. Think about the technical, organizing, community building, and facilitating skills you\u2019ll need to have the greatest impact. This team can include people who are and are not student ambassadors!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step two.<\/strong> Apply! Put your application together online and submit it <a href=\"http:\/\/takebacktheweb.mozilla.community\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> by April 15th.<\/p>\n<p>Each team will receive training, support and mentorship from Local Coaches, through the campaign to help you make the biggest change possible on your campus. You can learn more about the program and the three Impact Areas on the website at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/takebacktheweb.mozilla.community\">https:\/\/takebacktheweb.mozilla.community<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t wait to meet you and your team!
