Campus Area Network Development and Local Exchange Program (CANDLE)

Formerly known as the Group Local Area Network program, CANDLE aims to further foster collaboration between campus groups and community organizations. CANDLE takes local alliances one step further by encouraging affiliate groups to become active in their community outside of the movement as well.

CANDLE encourages college students to:

• Collaborate with local organizations associated with the movement
• Have affiliations with other national and international organizations in the movement
• Conduct community service projects
• Have relationships with organizations outside of the movement
• Develop an outreach program for high school students
• Have interactions with local media
• Engage in civic participation

The following handbook will provide, in detail, how your group can utilize the CANDLE program to build relationships with college campuses and high school groups.
