Restore the World

jsands92 — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:56:27 -0500

I recently created a website called restoretheworld.com (it is up and running--in beta mode)
This has taken on support from my school, and beginning to spread city wide. So far, RTW has been a resource for kids to go to research different aspects of each global issues, and discuss possible solutions. It could be considered as a "Project Management" site, however instead of tracking progress on business ideas, it focuses on the progress individual people are making in efforts to solve global problems, and shows the "big picture" by the larger progress.

Hello,

My name is Andrea. In May of 2004, I started a Live Journal community in the likeness of the popular CW television show, America's Next Top Model. In the beginning, this was merely for leisure and fun. I did not expect for the community to take off the way that it did.

Youth Power!

Butte County is located north of Sacramento. In my community, there is a high percentage of youths drop outs in high school and there is a very small fraction of those who attend college. My goal is to start a youth committee through our Hmong Cultural Center here in Oroville. I want to create a youth center that is easy going and open after school and on weekends so that youths can hang out, study, and create positive networks. In here also, I want to create a committee of youths for youths.

The Boston Latin School Youth CAN (Youth Climate Action Network) was founded on January 23rd, 2007 as an extra-curricular global warming club at BLS. It was formed in response to increasing awareness about the problem of global warming. At our first meeting, over 90 students showed up, and formed seven specific committees to take action. Less than a year later, our membership has swelled to over 300 students, and 16 separate committees!

Game Day

In Hudson, FL toward the northern half of Pasco County, we are located just across from a elementary, middle and highschool complex. After school we must get about 150-200 kids on Fridays. We are not sure why the huge numbers, butby the looks, these teens are simply looking for something to do. Little that we are budgeted for could even come close to interesting to this age group. With this grant we could get some video game systems and keep these teens interested with something they are familar with. Much cheaper than building a skate park, this would aid us in so many ways.
