The APPLE Outreach group is responsible for:

• planning and publicizing APPLE's public events
• providing support to APPLE workgroups
• increasing public awareness of energy depletion issues through presentations to community groups
• publishing APPLE's informational pamphlets and writing newspaper articles
• arranging for an APPLE table at selected community events and festivals
• producing TV, radio, and Internet broadcasts which advance APPLE's agenda
• managing alliances with other groups (as directed by APPLE's core group)
• helping to create sustainability-focused community networks

The Outreach Group is comprised of various "teams" which meet as needed on different schedules and do a lot of their work via special e-mail listserves.

As of July 1, more volunteers are needed for the following Outreach teams:

1. Publications team (writing, editing, updating APPLE literature; writing articles)
2. Event Tabling team (arranging for and/or representing APPLE at events, festivals, etc.)
3. Publicity team (help with postering and contacting various media outlets)
