ORGANIZATION: Both Ends Burning
Please visit the new page to apply.
Both Ends Burning Campaign is fighting to reverse the declining trend line in International Adoptions. We've produced an award-winning documentary, STUCK, exposing this social tragedy.
Beginning March 1, we are going on the road and premiering STUCK in 60 cities over 78 days. We will be in Richmond, VA on March 1 and in order for this to be successful we need your help!
In each city, we're planning a full day of activities including media appearances and a variety of speaking engagements. In the evening we will have a pre-premiere party, premiere followed by a Q and A, led by distinguished leaders in the adoption community. Our goal is to raise awareness and mobilize people to support reform for international adoption.
To maximize this unique opportunity, we need passionate and committed volunteers in the 60 cities where the film will premiere.
Please take a look at our website (http://bothendsburning.org/events/) and see which volunteer opportunity might be right for you!

Mission Statement
Both Ends Burning promotes adoption as a solution for children without parents. We exist to create a culture of adoption and to help facilitate changes in the current system. Adoption can serve as a champion for human potential, and as a responsible society we should be encouraging and promoting the practice of adoption.
Description
The Both Ends Burning Campaign is uniquely positioned to be the central umbrella organization to promote a culture of adoption and to implement policy change. One division of the campaign is The Culture of Adoption Movement, which exists to create awareness, promote adoption as an option, and make every child’s right to a family an important, relevant, social issue. The other division of the Both Ends Burning Campaign is the iAdopt advisory/policy services, which is the advocacy division designed to work with stakeholders to produce policy and process reform.
We are also producing a feature length documentary film that will serve as a catalyst in educating the world about the importance of international adoption, and the current crisis it is in. The film will reveal the full scope and complexity of international adoption today, showcasing the successes as well as the struggles in the modern-day efforts to find permanent families for parent-less children. Filming has taken place on four continents and features child development experts, policymakers, families, and the biggest stakeholders of all: children. The purpose of the film is to help the average person understand the issues and ultimately put pressure on leaders to produce change.
