Summary

"Connecting Through Youth Volunteerism" is a challenge for youth to use digital media (using web and/or video) to share personal stories about best practices in "youth volunteerism." They will publish a story online about an organization or special cause in which they volunteer their time to help (e.g. museums, parks, beach clean-up, hospitals, senior facilities, disaster relief, Humane Society, etc.). The youth projects that tell the best stories about volunteerism will win Apple iPads!
