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.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/136840">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/136840#comments at-risk children Community Building kids music nonprofit teens video violence youth 41.695434 -87.622550 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 20:07:14 -0500 dianekob 136840 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/126803 <p><p>OASIS (Outdoor Action for Social and Intrapersonal Stregth) is a project I am running at the Durham Nativity School in Durham, North Carolina. The Durham Nativity School is a nonprofit organization that provides free private school tuition to at-risk middle school students in the Durham area. OASIS is a supplemental retreat program for the students at this school. We take their students (approximately 15-35 students are expected to attend each retreat) on weekend long retreats to various areas that are relatively near (but outside of) the Durham area.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/126803">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/126803#comments at-risk challenge character character development community development Domestic Violence Duke Durham Education &amp; Environment fun homeless North Carolina outdoor poverty retreat youth youth development 36.028685 -78.923980 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 20:51:12 -0500 cmueller 126803 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/3155 <p><p>Valdimir Joseph founded Inner Strength, an organization based in Atlanta, GA.
