Ok-I couldn't upload the link. so,
It's www.ted.com
I couldn't upload the entire video, for it is 24 minutes long. The TED people are amazing. If you go to this site, thinkers and shakers receive the TED award and you can watch their acceptance speech and just browse through inspiration. For those English lovers, the writer Dave Eggers has a fantastic foundation, Once upon a school. This non profit group pulls in which writers and creative people to create a tutoring center. The video is great-watch the first 5 minutes, and from 17 minutes on. The center in S.F. was commercially zoned, so they have part of tutoring center as a 'Pirate supply shop'. Inspired by this, Brooklyn is a 'Superhero Supply shop' and on and on..around the country and world. It's great to see artists co-operating and helping youth who need more 1-1. You should check it out. (PS I didn't know how BIG 24 minutes would be-uploading video can only be 100 MB. I don't know how much that is.

The foundation is great, and is actually 826 National. They operate locally with 826 Seattle, and it is on Greenwood. When I worked in after school programming I tried to bring in some similar elements.
The website for the local chapter is: 826 Seattle
