We Are a Solution: Youth Changing the World through Service-Learning Multimedia Contest

Submission Deadline: April 30, 2008

With support from the State Farm Companies Foundation, the National Service-Learning Partnership at the Academy for Educational Development is helping us shine a bold spotlight on the many ways in which young people are changing the world.

It is a national service-learning recognition program for youth, by youth. The We Are a Solution: Youth Changing the World through Service-Learning Multimedia Contest gives youth the chance to express how they are transforming their own communities, schools, and even their own lives through service-learning. Through this contest, young people will:

• Tell the world how their education becomes more meaningful and school becomes more exciting when they are given the chance to put the skills and information learned in the classroom into action in the real world.
• Spotlight the many ways in which they are creating solutions to important community problems.
• Inspire others to bring learning to life by creating more opportunities for young people to learn and take action through service-learning.
