Green Teens Club
They say that a single action cannot change the world. We would like to think that “they” are wrong. Who are we? We are just a group of kids who think that we can do what we were told was impossible - change the world. We’re just your ordinary group of high school kids who believe that living a greener life now means a better life for our future.
WTO Youth Ambassador Programme
The WTO launched the “WTO Youth Ambassador Programme” during the closing session of the 2011 Public Forum. The idea of a WTO Youth Ambassador Programme was suggested in a video submitted by two young Australians within the framework of the 2011 Public Forum Video Contest.Their idea was based on the fact that “at present, young people have very little say at international organizations such as the WTO. These young people are tomorrow’s world leaders. And now more than ever, they need to sit at the table of global discussions. We should be using the young people of today to address the global challenges of tomorrow”.
Boys and Girls Club of America
In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them.
Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.
Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow – all while having fun. They are truly The Positive Place For Kids.

DO Something
We believe young people have the power to make a difference. It is our aim to inspire, support and celebrate a generation of do-ers: people who see the need to do something, believe in their ability to get it done, and then take action.
Our website is a community where young people learn, listen, speak, vote, volunteer, ask, and take action to make the world a better place. Currently, only 23% of this generation actively volunteers. Our hope is to create a do something generation: a world where more than 51% of young people are involved with community action. DO Something can be contacted directly from their website email form

Kids for Saving Earth
Clint Hill was special not because cancer tragically took his life at the age of eleven, but because the life he did live displayed a courage and sensitivity to the world around him.He couldn't understand what we are doing to our planet. The poisons we dump into our skies and rivers. The neglect we show for our precious plants and animals. How, he wondered, could we do such things? Of course we all wonder. But that is where Clint was different. He didn't just wonder. He acted. He started a club for kids dedicated to peaceful Earth-saving Actions. After Clint died, his mother and father established Kids for Saving Earth(KSE) as a nonprofit organization with thousands of kids doing good Earthworks.
