I have written before about Paul Allison <\/a>and the amazing work he has done at Youth Voices and on P2PU with badges for interest-driven student projects.<\/p>\n

Now, we need your help.<\/p>\n

A team of folks, including me and Paul, want to extend this great work into summer to give more youth an opportunity to find their voice and experience connected learning.<\/p>\n

To make this happen, we are conducting a crowdfunding campaign to raise the money to give youth and teachers a chance to attend this summer program free of charge. More info is available here at Youth Voices Summer Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anything you can do to help us reach our ambitious goal is much appreciated<\/strong>. We need not only financial donations, but also help spreading the word in whatever ways you can. Twitter, Facebook, email, phone — anything you can do will help.<\/p>\n

I know firsthand that the work Youth Voices is doing has a profound impact on the youth and teachers who participate.<\/p>\n

Thank you for whatever you can do!
