My name is Mitchell and I’m a 17-year-old student/soccer player from Wisconsin. I started Peace Is The Goal as a goodwill initiative in October 2006 when I was 13 years old. This ongoing initiative aims to make the world a better place to live in by spreading the message of peace and giving through “the world’s game”, soccer. Many kids in the world have little, if anything. They are desperately looking for something positive to do. They love the sport of soccer, but many don’t even have real equipment to play the game. Rocks, plastic bottles or garbage are often used as balls.

"The Melissa Cole Show" intends to educate and empower urban communities on Long Island about environmental and health concerns that can be overshadowed by the overwhelming campaigns, resources, and efforts poured into the reduction of crime, the proliferation of drugs, or lowering high school dropout rates in these areas.

I am a tenth grade special ed. student with a disability. School is very hard for me and other students as well. The Transition Career Fair gives us hope that we can make it in the real world. We learn that even if we don't get really good grades, we still have skills and abilities. I know that without this fair I would want to quit school. I have friends that feel the same way. Last year 1,400 students came to the fair. The year before we had 1,000. The first fair only had 50 students attend in 1999. Lots of community business and collages are involved now.

The village of Glen Ellyn, in DuPage County of Illinois is a fairly affluent community with an immediate population of 27,167 as of July, 2007. As the majority of our community members could be categorized as upper to middle class and are accustomed to high standards of living, it often becomes difficult for them to relate an environment where animals, particularly domestic pets are abused. Ironically, these community members so often unaware of the plight of animals, possess invaluable resources to combat this problem. Woofin’& Hoofin' realizes and understands the reality of this issue.

The Chico Unified School District has terminated funding for high school literary magazines; our student newspaper folded, as well. We are determined to keep our last student voice. This year, as last, the Chico High Literary Magazine is wholly self-funded, and the staff conducts multiple fundraisers throughout the school term. The last two editions, we have worked with bookstores, our faculty and student body, and the community at large. This year, however, we hope to expand “Seven-Eighths Under Water” beyond the average 100 pages.

Over the past year and a half, 5 major hurricanes have struck the US. Along with countless other natural disasters, these hurricanes have cost over $14 billion in city and neighborhood damage and repair, as well as taking away thousands of lives. There are many refugees living in Leander, Texas, and other Austin suburbs, but most of them are not living comfortably. In fact, there are hundreds of storm refugees dying each day, from lack of food, clothing, and shelter, the three basic human needs.
