The Campus Action Projects (CAP) enable student leaders and campus faculty to design and implement effective programs that enhance campus offerings, promote leadership, and improve academic and career outcomes. Each year, AAUW chooses a mission-based theme that the projects will focus on, such as sexual harassment or pay equity. Special thanks to the Mary Ann Ahrens Giving Circle for providing substantial support for the 2008-09 Campus Action Project
Through an application process, up to ten teams composed of students and a campus professional are selected at colleges and universities around the country to implement their project proposal. Teams are chosen for the strength of their proposals and for their proactive efforts to foster student leadership. Each team will be given technical assistance from AAUW's national office and will be required to work with an AAUW state or branch member who will serve as the community advisor/liaison. The grants each team receives from AAUW typically range from $1,000 to $5,000 based on the budget submitted in the application process. A member from each team will be funded to report on the project at the annual AAUW/NASPA National Conference for College Women Student Leaders in Washington, D.C.
