The Media Boot Camps teaches students the skills they needs to take their campaign to the next level. This includes a tutorial on how to write a media advisory/press release, talk to the press effectively,
target television and radio sources, reach out to pertinent blogs and tap the full range of media outlets, including ethnic media.

As part of the Yalla Vote ’08 Campaign, The Arab American Institute is hiring Field Organizing interns in key states to work on Arab American Voter engagement, with an emphasis on reaching young professionals and student groups . The purpose of the campaign is to empower the Arab American community to get involved in local, federal and presidential elections of their choice.
