2009, Summer of Solutions

In the face of a falling economy, an energy crisis, fragmented and inequitable communities, and the growing threat of global warming, youth are coming together to create and implement solutions that address all of these challenges together.

This summer, youth will gather in Ann Arbor and many other communities across the nation for the Summer of Solutions - a training ground for “solutionaries” - youth leaders who work as innovative organizers across issue lines to build the green economy as an engine for local opportunity, climate and energy solutions, and social justice.

With the support of local partnerships that they will forge and a national network of fellow solutionaries, participants will create self-sustaining projects that will have a direct impact on their communities and that will serve as models for others to build on.

If you are interested in participating in this innovative and empowering program, or know of a young person who could benefit, you can apply here.
