  Greetings!

  We at Search Institute Press are developing a small poster for youth, one=
 that they would like to hang in their locker at school or on a bulletin bo=
ard at home. =


  I'm looking for feedback on the content of the poster. We've come up with=
 three possible themes, and I would love to know which poster you would be =
most likely to buy for the teens in your life. Will you read the following =
examples and vote on your favorite? Thanks!

  Theme #1: What Is Your Spark?

  Examples of "sparks" that would appear on the poster are: =

  Building furniture
  Acting        =

  Taking care of stray dogs

  And questions the poster may pose are:
  How do you use your gifts to make a difference in the world?
  Who supports your sense of purpose?

  Theme #2: Anyone Can Be a Leader

  Examples of questions the poster may pose are:
  How do I bring out leadership in other people?
  How can I inspire people to come together?
  How do I respond to bullying?

  Theme #3: Make a Difference
  Sections will include the environment, social justice and equality, and s=
piritual development.

  An example from each section:
  Lather, rinse, don't repeat. Shortening your time in the shower by only t=
wo minutes saves 10 gallons of water.

  Speak up. If classmates or friends are telling offensive jokes, say so. T=
ell them that you appreciate good jokes, but what they're doing is perpetua=
ting stereotypes. =

  Find your spirit. Spirituality is shaped both within and outside of relig=
ious traditions, beliefs, and practices. When do you feel spiritual? On nat=
ure hikes? While playing piano, or nurturing a child? Creating a piece of a=
rt?

  Please let me know which one you like best, Theme #1, Theme #2, or Theme =
#3. We want this to be a poster that really speaks to teens, and your opini=
on is so valuable!

  Thanks,

  Alison
