JDRF Golf & Tennis Open: Dollars for Diabetes

Dollars for Diabetes, an initiative started by Team Brotherly Love is a project run by kids for kids. It was founded after Team Brotherly Love started the JDRF Golf & Tennis Open one year ago, in order to get kids involved. The initiative gets children of all ages engaged in fundraising or what we call, "FUNraising." These youth philanthropists "funraise" at all community events ranging from town fairs to tournaments to athletic events as well as at retailers around the state of New Jersey.

Civic Engagement: Making Connections

In a six week long summer experience, Georgetown students would act as coaches, empowering and inspiring students from Southeast DC to identify and tackle the problems in their community. The undergraduate participants would also work to change the problems that they perceive on Georgetown’s campus. The goals of the program are: 1. To improve the experience of Georgetown students by increasing connectedness within the student body and between students and university administration 2. To encourage and facilitate student work for change on campus 3.

Our group, Girls Speak Out, is making plans to do our 2nd Holiday Food Drive. We plan to spend 2 Fridays going from door to door asking for canned goods for our local Food Bank, Marin County Food Bank.

Caesar Chavez Public Charter School Tenth Grade Community Action Project

The organization I am passionately dedicated to is Mobilize.org. Mobilize.org is an all-partisan network dedicated to educating, empowering, and energizing young people to increase our civic engagement and political participation. We operate through Mobilizer Teams who serve as our ground troops in the war against political apathy. These teams bring together local activists and leaders to help pave the highway to youth empowerment. One of the projects that I have worked on through my involvement with Mobilize.org is the Caesar Chavez 10th Grade Community Action Project.
