Step 1 - Learn

You have a voice. You can make a difference. Read the Advocating for Change Handout to understand why using your voice is important and how eCards can help you use it. How are you going to use your voice? What topic are you passionate about?  Search through our eCard Research Topics page for inspiration. Already inspired by another resource? Great! Move on to Step 2.

Step 2 - Write

Now that you've done your research and are passionate about a topic it's time to write your eCard message. What decision maker do you want to email? Use the eCard worksheet (PDF or Google Doc) to guide you through these questions. 
Note: Words hold power, and we hope your eCard can make a positive difference. We will not email or publish any eCards containing a message with discriminatory content, obscenity, or profanity.

Step 3 - Design

It's time to create your Digital or Physical Media!  What type of media will depict your message?
Artwork can be created digitally, by hand, or by third party (just ensure it’s copyright free).
Students can also choose to submit a video, podcast or any other media type. Examples of past eCards and tips and tools are in the
Artwork Creation section below to help you with your graphics.
