Hello All,
I recently had a suggestion approved by the administration which you can find under the topic "Je L'ai" in Suggestions. This is a rather extensive project, and while I volunteered to do it all myself, and I still can, it would be kind of nice to have some help.
If nobody wants to help, I can certainly do it all myself, but it would be great if you'd volunteer. I'm calling this "Project Paper Push" just because it's a lot of data collection, there's not much else to the name.
Let me explain my suggestion that got approved first.
By sending a letter to school principals around the country via E-MAIL, and including a printable flyer... we can get the name HelpingTeens out to more people in our "target market". Imagine if you found out about this site from a flyer in your school.
Right now, we're working on this project. What that means is a letter has to be crafted (job covered), a flyer has to be crafted (job still open but anything made needs admin approval) and 1,000 e-mail addresses for various principals need to be collected.
As of now I have 141 e-mail addresses for school principals. However I cannot actually VERIFY these right now. Here's the theory on how this brings in members:
1,000 principals are sent the letter. 300 addresses turn out to be invalid and bounce back.
700 principals see the letter.
600 read the letter.
150 respond in some form by posting a flyer etc.
On average, a school has 1,000 students.
150,000 students see the name HelpingTeens.org
5% RESPOND meaning they come to the site and sign up. Hopefully more will actually come.
That would bring in 7,500 people.
Even HALF of that good of a response would DOUBLE our member base.
Pretty cool, huh?
What I need is addresses for principals. The problem is, I dont' want the e-mail address for just YOUR principal, I want every principal in your DISTRICT. If you can do that in this format:
Peterson High joeschmo@peterson.williams.k12.ga.us
Alaslon High joeblow@alaslon.williams.k12.ga.us
It's hard to find the addresses on the website each time. That's why this project might take a week or so.
If you are interested in being a contributer to Project Paper Push by donating some time and helping us move toward our goal of 1,000, it would be greatly appreciated.
Even if you just want to give me your school district, ANYTHING is appreciated.
PM me or PM for my IM.

Oh, the other thing that is bad about this is
SPAM - it's considered spam i would believe.

Re: Project Paper Push
It's not spam at all. Especially not if you address it properly. It's a LETTER that's kind of personal.And it advertises at site. It's coming out of my e-mail account, so worry not.
