REBELARTE
The REBELARTE campaign is a program within Land and Freedom Organization. This campaign focuses on promoting art that is positive, culturally conscious, and that addresses not only the problems and obstacles we face, but also the solutions necessary to change the conditions that prevent us from moving forward.
Art comes in many forms: Hip-Hop music, painting, poetry, storytelling, and many other forms of expression.

Project PUMP (People Uniting More People) is an organization started by six high school seniors as part of their service learning project.We decided we wanted to work with kids and help them reach their full potential after reading alarming statistics such as:
*Children living in the lowest 20% of income brackets are SIX times more likely to drop out of high school as those living in the highest 20%.
*Of the 7.1 million children who have at least one parent in jail 70% of them will in turn end up in prison themselves.

My Dad and I have started a BMX racing team in our community. Dad is helping me to contact Foster Care, Integral Youth Services, The Angel Project, Child Development, the local military base and other orgaizations to reach children who are going though problems in their lives. They may be from families with gang orientation, drug addiction, alcohol addiction, abuse, divorce, deployment or parent death. These children may have emotional or physical problems.

Pineview Home School in Evart, Michigan is a school for court placed boys. Some of the boys that attend this school were abused, while others have committed some type of a felony. The boys live in homes together on the campus of the school and spend the majority of their time at the school. They are allowed to participate in athletics and compete against mostly small private schools from the area. They field a soccer team and a basketball team. One of the things that I enjoyed doing most growing up was attending camps in the summer.
