Jeans for Teens

the problem:

The DOSOMETHING organization is doing a national jean drive so we decided to take part, we are very excited about participating for our second year!!!

vital stats:

people impacted:

100

people involved:

10

why it's important:

Homelessness among teens is a problem that prevents them from making the most of their education and other oppurtunities. For them to have a chance at succeeding in other areas, clothes need to not be one of their worries.

the plan of action:

We're making a PSA for our jean drive and hanging posters all around the school.

how you can get involved:

if you live in the jasper area bring your slightly worn jeans by jasper high school sometime in January!
