Getting Involved in Social Change
Here are a couple of websites worth visiting because they represent visionary initiatives for social change. The first is NFTE, The National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship. NFTE's mission is to provide entrepreneurship education programs to young people from low-income communities. "Our vision is that every young person will find a pathway to prosperity." Now that's a vision for social change. NFTE has local offices in more than a dozen major metropolitan areas in the U.S. Since its founding in 1987, NFTE has reached over 186,000 young people from low-income communities and has more than 1,000 active Certified Entrepreneurship Teachers. Get involved today, you'll never regret it. For more information go to: http://www.nfte.com/
The second is Pioneers of Change. Pioneers of Change fosters understanding, capacities and relationships needed by younger practitioners committed to stepping forward and creating the change they want to see in the world. Pioneers of Change is a global learning network supporting practitioners in their mid-20s to mid-30. Founded in 1999, by a group of people from 16 countries and now includes participants from around the world. One of the eight communities of practice within Pioneers of Change is Arts for Social Change. "This community of practice engages pioneers who are exploring ways of applying artistic processes toward social change." Both artists who are seeking more meaningful ways of channeling their artistic talents, and community developers, professionals, activists, teachers, etc., who are interested in learning how to integrate more art into their social change work are invited.
