The Walk event takes place on Sunday, May 7, 2017. Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. and the Walk program starts at 12:00 p.m. The Global Village, site of the Advocacy Fair and Action Festival, will be open throughout the event, closing at 2:00 p.m.

The 2017 Walk location is NEW for 2017. We will assemble at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza,2100 Thousand Oaks Blvd, Thousand Oaks, CA 91362,  for the Global Village and Walk program.

The Walk will be 2.5 miles Round Trip on paved sidewalks starting and ending at the Civic Arts Plaza.  There will be a mid-point "opt-out" bypass halfway through for those who desire a shorter walk.

There is a parking lot at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza and additional parking is available on adjacent streets. Please check street signs.  

Your team captain will be assigned a Team color in the days before the Event. Balloons in the designated color will mark the Team meeting place. We will announce a time for teams to gather for the Walk and give you plenty of time to enjoy the activities in the Global Village.

We ask that each Walker be registered, but we want EVERYONE to be able to participate. If you need to make special financial arrangements to accommodate individuals or groups, please call us at 818-501-1836 and we will be happy to assist you.

When you go to register yourself, you can add people under your email address. This is especially helpful for young children who do not have email addresses. Follow these six steps and if you have any trouble or if you have already registered, please give us a call at 818-501-1836.

Step 1: 
Register yourself with a valid email address. . You may now register additional people under your email address but Walkers registered this way will NOT have an individual fundraising page. 


Step 2: 
Select "Join Team" or "Create Team".

Step 3:
Put in your information. 

Step 4: 
Select "Add More Walkers" on the right of where you entered your information. 

Step 5: 
Un-select "Fundraising Tools" to remove the need for an additional email address. 

Step 6: 
Fill in the Walker's information. If you are only adding one other person, select "Continue" to check out. To add more Walkers, select "Add More Walkers" and the information you have already entered will be saved automatically. 

It depends on whether your family members (or even just one of them) will want to fundraise through the event website.  Here is the answer for both situations:

1. The rest of your family will NOT fundraise through an individual headquarters on the website. This is the easiest way. Go into your HQ and check the RSVP option on the right hand side.  Fill in the info for each additional family member.

2. Someone in your family DOES want their own fundraising page.  In this case, you will have to go to the REGISTER button on the home page and begin a new registration for that person with their own email address.

In order to make someone a co-captain, they first need to register as a team member. Once that person is registered, they will appear on the Team Captain Fundraising Headquarters Page (click: “My Team Members” on the left side). You can then select any team member to be a co-captain. There is no limit on how many team members can be co-captains.

If you have any questions or difficulty, please contact walk@jww.org or call us at 818-501-1836.

Everyone is welcome to come to the Global Village Advocacy Fair & Action Festival. You can also participate by registering as a Walk Day Volunteer.

You do not have to raise money to participate. But please remember that your donation dollars (from you and those who you solicit to support you) help JWW to educate and raise awareness of ongoing atrocities in Sudan, South Sudan, Syria and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), advocate for change, and provide funds for projects that provide relief and development in places like the DRC and in the Darfuri refugee camps.

Registered Walkers who do not want to fundraise are encouraged to make a donation in addition to the registration fee in lieu of raising funds.

There are so many ways you can help make this fundraiser a success. Once you register, establish a fundraising goal for yourself and use the fundraising tips available here to begin your efforts.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

2. Donate to yourself or to another Walker.
3. Check to see if your synagogue, church or other community organization has a team or organize your own team.
4. Make the Walk your Community Service or Bar/Bat Mitzvah project.
5. Increase your fundraising dollars though a Matching Gifts Program. 
6. Maximize your impact by creating a Walk Team with friends, family and other groups you belong to.
