BetterWorld Clubs meet regularly (you decide how often --
once a week, every other week, or once a month) typically
in a member's home or dorm room, in a coffee shop, town
hall or other community meeting place, or at school as an
afterschool club, or a social circle at a place of worship.
They provide an opportunity to share your local and global
visions of a better world with others who care, and to think
about ways that you can help make your community a better
place to live.

Create
an Event
Most BetterWorld Clubs find that working together on a project
or event in their community helps strengthen their BetterWorld
Club and spread hope that a better world is possible. BetterWorld
Days like Earth Day, Human Rights Day, End Hunger Day and
Peace Day are perfect occasions for creating community-building
events and activities. Find resources and links for more
than 75 BetterWorld Days at BetterWorldCalendar.com
House
Party - Watch a Film

issue your BetterWorld Clubs chapter is interested in. Your
BetterWorld Clubs chapter can rent FREE films on better
world issues from TheFilmConnetion.org or stream films free
from your computer at FreeDocumentaries.org

BetterWorld
Show
You can help grow the global movement for a better world
by making a creative YouTube video about your BetterWorld
Club's activities and hopes for a better world and submitting
to BetterWorldShow.com
to inspire other BetterWorld Clubs all around the world.
Online
Social Networks
 Facebook
has become a powerful tool to help network with others in
your community and across the world. Join the BetterWorldClubs
Facebook page and connect to others who wish for a more
peaceful, just and sustainable world. You can help spread
the word about BetterWorld Clubs and the global movement
for a better world by setting up a BetterWorld forum on
one of the many other social network portals on the
internet, including Zaadz.com, Change.org, WiserEarth.org,
Idealist.org, Care2.com, SixDegrees.org. Let people know
about the more than 3000 free resources they can find at
BetterWorld.net
Change
Your Shopping Habits
Another important tool for BetterWorld Clubs is the Better
World Shopping Guide. This pocket-sized book will help you
make easy spending choices for a better world and show you
that every dollar counts. As more and more people make their
spending decisions based on better world principles, we
will help transform our economy into a more socially responsible
and sustainable system.
Support
Nonprofits
Finally, your BetterWorld Club can get involved
with a local charity that is addressing your betterworld
path, or you can help by providing a nonprofit with a tax-deductible
donation. Check out Idealist.org
for the most comprehensive directory of nonprofits in every
part of the world.
Help
build a better world with the next gift you give - instead
of helping to promote consumerism, consider giving Charity
Checks instead. When you give Charity Checks, your friends
and loved ones can choose their favorite charity to help
and you get a tax write off. Give the gift of a better world
-- help make every dollar count for a better world.
