Call for Young Leaders to Join Programs in Seventeen Sites Nationwide
Click here for application<http://grandaspirations.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=08c4b7e5767...>
Applications are now open to join Summer of Solutions (SOS) programs across
the country. Summer of Solutions is a people-powered program for youth
(ages 14-30) to develop their leadership and build just, sustainable
economies in their communities.
In the face of a failing economy, an energy crisis, and the growing threat
of global warming, youth are coming together to create and implement
solutions that address these challenges. Together, these people are
Solutionaries: young leaders who work to uplift local communities, build
the green economy, and push for social justice.
The program gives participants the opportunity to create and support local
green economy projects while acquiring skills and strategies that empower
them as agents of Solutionary change wherever they go. The Solutionary
values of Community, Prosperity, Sustainability and Justice are staples of
every SOS program.
This summer, we are welcoming a new wave of young leaders to join us. Learn
more about the 17
programs<http://grandaspirations.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=08c4b7e5767...>located
coast-to-coast, and click
here to apply<http://grandaspirations.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=08c4b7e5767...>to
the program nearest you.
The deadline for the first round of applications is *this Thursday,
2/23!*The second round of applications closes on

spaces and organized to make the plans reality
