Project Invoke

It's time to start looking at the truth. Project Invoke will create a short movie completely made by youth. We will then publish the DVD locally to give a reality check to people who choose to think of our homeless youth as a "problem". This movie has been completely made by youth who have had a past of homelessness or poverty. The mayor of our city (Eugene OR) has already been interviewed and as such we have a large community support for this project. Homeless folks, drug dealers or "punk teenagers" how many labels could you fit into a sentence or even an article?

Girls Helping Girls

Although right now, I am only organizing a specific project, Girls Helping Girls, into the future I would like to develop this project into a small nonprofit organization that partners girls in the United States- particularly and initially, girls on Action Teams within the social change organizations of which I am a part- with girls in schools, orphanages, and community organizations in developing countries to jointly identify problems in their communities and develop service projects to address those issues.
