Young People Who Rock
I follow a blog affiliated with CNN called, Young People Who Rock. YPWR is a is a weekly interview series focused on people under 30 -- from CEOs to entertainers to athletes to community and political leaders -- who are doing remarkable things.
I have been especially motivated by the last two posts. The first post is highlighting a 17 year-old girl who is helping homeless children create poetry through photography. You can read it here: http://ypwr.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/21/melissa-urfirer/
The second post is about a 13 year-old boy who has developed an organization helping victims of hurricanes Katrina and Gustav. You can read it here: http://ypwr.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/14/julian-adler/
Perhaps the students in your faith community could benefit from hearing how other teens around North America are living out their dreams, for the benefit of others.
