Our town needs change... and it needs to come from the youth population. Proposed is a Learning Through Service (LTS) program that would work with all public schools K-12 (and any private / charter school that shows interest!) to execute community service projects that directly correlate to the curriculum students are learning!
Our students are extremely active, and this program would allow them a more upfront and creative way to be activists! For more on WH youth activism, check out our website: www.rockandlearn.org
We're also on Facebook (Rock West Hartford) or MySpace!!

Kids Off The Block, a prominent community based youth organization in the Roseland Community of Chicago, IL, has ignited a passion across the city in response to an epidemic of youth violence that has claimed the lives of our children in the past year. 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.

As part of an outreach program with my school orchestra, we go to elementary schools that have 80% or more children on food plans, or are from lower income families and put on concerts for the students.

The Milpitas Youth Advisory Commission presents the City of Milpitas Talent show, "Milpitas' Got Talent."
This city-wide talent show hopes to bring together the youth of Milpitas on a common ground, self-expression through art. All the youth of the city ranging from ages 12-21 are encouraged to audition to show off their talents in a friendly yet competitive competition for $100.
Acts will consist of bands, dance groups, hip-hop groups, singers, acoustic music groups, and solo instrumentals. All ticket sale proceeds will go to our charity of choice, Child Advocates of Silicon Valley.

Nerdapalooza 2008
NerdCorps/Nerdapalooza has teamed up with national charity Child's Play to present Nerdapalooza 2008, the premiere nerd music event of the year.
Sponsored in part by Troma Films (Class of Nuke'Em High, The Toxic Avenger) and A Comic Shop, Nerdapalooza will host over thirty-three nerdcore hip-hop and rock bands during Fourth of July weekend in Orlando.
This is likely to be a significant media event, as interest in Nerdcore has never been higher, with the recent release of the film "Nerdcore Rising" at South By SouthWest, and the pending release of "Nerdcore for Life"

During my junior year in high school my friends and I decided to hold a benefit dance to raise money and awareness for Pancreatic Cancer, a usually fatal cancer. My friends father was recently diagonosed with this Cancer in the spring of the previous year. So we decided to help other victims by raising money to aid in the research of this cancer. We went to businesses all over our area to gain sponsorship money to help with our profits. Then we had to find a location. Our school told us we coudn't have it there, so we decided on the local skating rink.

The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota is home to thousands of Lakota Indian people. Unfortunately, it is also home to a huge drug problem that effects everyone. Children and adults alike die from drug related causes everyday. I am apart of a small group of people here in Pine Ridge who are working towards bringing something positive to the reservation. The way that we hope to do this is through music. We would like support in putting on a drug awareness concert- free and open to everyone. We are planning to have positive messages, music, art and free food.
