Lasting three days, April 24-26, thousands of events around the world celebrated and recognized the contributions young people make to their communities every day of the year. 1,950 GYSD projects were registered at www.GYSD.org , almost twice as many projects as in 2008. So, what's next? You can start planning for a project to take place in September-November 2009 and apply for the next round of Disney Minnie Grants. Youth Service America and Disney are pleased to offer the Disney Minnie Grants to fund children's efforts to improve their communities. These grants of $500 are for children (ages 5-14) or the organizations that engage them, to implement youth-led service projects that address the issues of Poverty, Hunger, Education, Environment, Global Citizenship, Sustainable Community Development, and Disaster Prevention & Relief.

Do you have a moment to offer your opinion about something? We are in the process of updating one of our most popular resources, *You Can Make a Difference for Kids.* This is a short booklet that introduces general audiences to the concept of assets. The original version has a square shape and a purple and green design. (Don't worry; we'll update the look of it!) One feature that has made this piece so popular is a set of tear-out cards in the middle of the booklet. Before we move ahead with the updated version, I wanted to find out what kind of content would be most useful in the tear-out section: - Four different asset lists for different age groups, back-to-back on two cards (as in the original version) - One larger tear-out poster with the assets listed on one side and asset-building activities/suggestions on the other side - One larger tear-out poster with the assets listed in English on one side and Spanish on the other side Which of these three options appeals to you? Our goal is to make this publication as accessible and useful as possible, and your insights are always helpful in that regard. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts. Have a great day! Best wishes, Tenessa -- = Tenessa Gemelke Publishing Manager Search Institute Press Take Search Institute's 2009 Customer Survey, and you'll be able to download an exclusive new poster, Top Ten Ways to Spring Into Summer.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi Derek, 4 Assets that we might add to the dialogue around our economic times are: Responsibility and Adult Role Models - I'd sure love to see people taking personal responsibility for their role in the current economic mess. I don't mean the finger-pointing and blame-finding that seems pretty common, but rather seeing adults modeling true accountability and recognition of how their/our behaviors contributed to this mess. And then also taking responsibility for how they/we can move us in more fiscally and socially responsible directions. What a difference this could make in the ways young people might understand responsibility and accountability. Restraint - Could we look more deeply at how our model of "the one with the most toys wins" might be restrained for the greater good?? Consumerism without restraint is not, in my opinion, the way out. (There might even be some connections between the above approach and the more literal definition of Restraint related to sex, drugs, and alcohol, but I'll leave that discussion to others for the moment!) Positive view of personal future - If it's public confidence in the market that seems to have so much sway over what happens in the stock market, then perhaps we all could use a dose of optimism and belief in our personal futures being safe and stable, in spite of the economic woes and true suffering that many people feel. Not easy when you're not sure where your next meal will come from or how you'll support your family. Yet, having that strong belief is part of what makes people more resilient.
