There was a great piece on CNN.com today about Selena Gomes and the work she's doing as a young ambassador with UNICEF. She explains how she got involved with the organization and how this work has turned in to a passion. Yes, she's 18, and many people feel youth don't know how to give back. But look at the national volunteer rates - the youth age range is among the fastest growing population of volunteers around the country - even in Rhode Island!
This piece is moving and heartfelt, albeit short and sweet. It's a nice piece to read or watch the video of with your teen and encourage them to find a project or area that interests them there where they can make a difference.
