I was listening to the Tavis Smiley Show on NPR last weekend and heard some youth speak who participated in Smiley's Youth Leadership Institute recently. Here's the audio link: http://www.tavissmileyradio.com/zen/TSR/guests08/091208/LeadershipYouth_FREEprev.php
A group called Youth Venture is coming to table at our school tomorrow: http://www.genv.net/ They work with students to develop and fund action plans. I see a huge potential to partner with them. GL students who are driven to take their ideas further and start clubs or organizations can get $1000 to get started. They do workshops on writing action plans, etc. but I think we will cover most of that in our classes. I'm going to meet with Alan from YV tomorrow and I hope to invite him into my class to speak when we start working on our first action plans.
