Each community that I work in is substantially different with often only one thing in common - The handicapped. Often these poor people are sent to the back of schools and facilities into trailers or other less favorable buildings where the paint is chipped and the future looks as bleak as the walls.

4 Peace was founded in October of 2006. Our various projects are innovative, well-organized and staffed with energized membership, but find themselves hampered by a lack of funding. The members of 4 Peace are aware of "Do Something” ’s reputation as a socially responsible and equitable community member, and believe our organizations are dedicated to the same goals. 4 Peace aspires to begin our work as soon as we possibly can, but we need help to do so. We therefore ask for the honor of your consideration for a Plum Grant.

There are many problems facing today's Teens, and among the largest is religious discrimination, the lack of religious rights, and amount of solid study sources for those wishing to follow an alternative Faith such as Paganism. The Young Tree Pagan Educational Grove has been created to begin solving these problems, and work as a National organization which provides teens and their families with educational materials and events, but our purpose goes much further than that, as our mission statement and purpose states below.... So what is the purpose of Young Tree Grove?

Students of the Mississippi-Vermont Community Comection class at Twinfield Union School in Marshfield, Vermont have been learning from a “Rights in Action” curriculum. It is a model that enables students to reflect, create and fulfill action plans while building a voice that empowers and is shaped by community. Imagine a new generation of citizen activists bridging our nation’s North and South divide, raising their voices on important public issues, and enlisting community leaders and educators as partners in the civic and political life of their communities.

The mission of Jer's Vision: Canada's Youth Diversity Initiative (the Jeremy Dias Foundation) is to support youth who are addressing issues of discrimination in their schools and communities. Discrimination is still a major problem in Canada, and youth are part of the solution. The potential of youth is all too often overlooked, and we want to change that.
Jer's Vision seeks to support youth through programs and services that are open to everyone.

Ailis, my sister, traveled to the country of Lesotho in the summer of 2005. After her interactions with the children in the Touching Tiny Lives Foundation’s safe home, she vividly described the stories she discovered during her time. These children are either orphaned because their parents passed away from AIDS or are stricken with the disease itself. My brother and I decided it was time to act and we could not and would not remain silent.

We're struggling for our student group to meet in our high school. This group helps stop and show people how discrimination can harm people even when it's just joking around. Our current website is at www.ohsgsa.org. There are many of these groups nationwide but still its not nearly enough. We're going to be participating in a few activities this year and in the years to come along with other GSA's nationwide. We're helping to change our community's view of LGBT and straight ally youth, one student at a time.

Chair Advocates is an established Youth Venture which upholds disability rights and help people with disabilities to lead independent lives. We will assist people with disabilities get funding for adaptive equipments like dressing sticks, reachers and other everyday living aids. Even though ADA tackled most disability related issues, there are still some that needs to be addressed and taken into consideration. For instance there's a large amount of people with disabilities who's suffering from poverty.
