Bon Jovi Headlines New Challenge for Youth

Submitted by Administrator on Thu, 04/26/2012 - 17:25

Join Jon Bon Jovi in the SparkOpportunity Challenge, a national campaign to help youth!

The Youth Leadership Institute and partner organizations are working to help more youth have access to education and jobs and we want to hear from YOU on what you see as a helpful solution. Youth and adults are encouraged to click here and share your ideas.

To communicate your idea, you can submit:
- videos
- text
- images
- stories

Winners receive:
- an iPad
- seed grant money, and
- mentoring support to turn your project into reality!

The submission deadline is May 15, 2012.

The Challenge was developed by SparkAction, an initiative of the Forum for Youth Investment, and the Youth Leadership Institute, in support of the White House Council for Community Solutions' work on behalf of opportunity youth - those young people ages 16-24 who are disconnected from education or work.

Please forward this to any youth or adult you know who might have a good idea on how to help youth connect to education and jobs.
