I am helping Thurston County, working closely with a foster care program, and anyone in the community that would like help, to alleviate at-risk youth. I want school drop out rates to become the nation's lowest. I would want children to turn to friends and family rather than alcohol or drugs. And I want children living in a single parent home, where that single parent works all day, to have a friend to turn to in times of need.

Kids Off The Block, a prominent community based youth organization in the Roseland Community of Chicago, IL, has ignited a passion across the city in response to an epidemic of youth violence that has claimed the lives of our children in the past year. We are embarking on our greatest challenge yet, the launching of our Citywide Campaign called “Save A Teen / Do Something”. This new Youth Anti-Violence Crime Prevention Campaign will develop sustainable processes and relationships that will address the violence, and social conditions that face youth in Chicago and across this nation.

Valdimir Joseph founded Inner Strength, an organization based in Atlanta, GA. After being left homeless at age 13, Valdimir put himself through college and started Inner Strength to tutor, mentor and provide hiking and camping experiences for “at-risk†young men in inner-city Atlanta. Valdimir helped improve school attendance, increase graduation rates and reduce youth-related crime.
