Amelia Curry spent most of last summer living in a village in the Dominican Republic,
advocating for children’s rights through Amigos de las Americas. Since 1965, AMIGOS’
unique immersion experience has helped thousands of young people learn about
new cultures and traditions in Latin America, develop leadership skills in community
service, and strengthen their language skills.
High school junior, Kenya Mack, helps teach environmental education classes at her former
elementary school as a member of CommunityGrows BEETS (Band of Environmentally
Educated and Employable Teens). BEETS is a green jobs training program for low-income,
underserved teens in the Western Addition. This six-month stipend program educates
teens to be community leaders in organic gardening, harvesting, cooking nutritional foods,
recycling, composting, park care, and bicycle maintenance.

CLOTHE ETHIOPIAN CHILDREN

Clothe Ethiopian Children began with a simple smile on the face of a boy Fana
Aregawie met while visiting family in Ethiopia. His pleasure at receiving an old pair of
shoes made her realize that such a simple gift could make a difference in a country
where 80% of children live in poverty. She decided to raise money to bring to Ethiopia
every summer to buy clothing to donate to a local school.
Jjangde takes its name from the Senegalise phrase, “Wallam e’ jangde” meaning,
help me learn. Their model is simple: employ Senegalise entrepreneurs to create
hand-made goods to sell globally and use the money earned to fund schools in their
communities. Launched in San Francisco by two public school educators and their
students, the teen advisors fundraise and create awareness in the U.S. and participate
in a Senegalese cultural exchange during the summer.
