EduPic Graphical Resource was launched in September 2006 as a source of free images for teachers and their students. Now with over 6000 different photographs and education illustrations, EduPic is used everyday all over the world. All the photographs are taken, and all the drawing and web publishing is done, outside of my day job as an educational professional. The images on EduPic are "free for use by educational professionals and the students they serve without permission." Educational professionals would include those persons employed by a school, public or private, and college or university, (i.e. teachers, media specialists, administrators, etc.) with regular direct contact with students. Students may use the images on EduPic for any educational purpose, even in published and distributed works, such as a student created website or conference poster. Educational use would also include public service education such as might be done by environmental education centers, churches, and other non-profit organizations. If you are not sure, please ask. I enjoy getting emails from people who want to use my images!

teen Volunteering community resources social activism volunteer youth service

Most parents and educators are always encouraging our youth to get off the couch and do something! DoSomething.org is an organization that helps teens with social causes they care about. This is the generation of "doers" and this organization provides an avenue for young adults to make a difference in the community they live. They have 3 rules: No money, no car, and no adults! The organization provides tons of resources on their website including a directory of clubs in each state that are already setup, but teens are encouraged to start their own project as well. I came across a video online on "How to Use Social Media for Good" by Monique Coleman, in a section called DoSomething U, which helps people starting not-for-profit organizations or social enterprises. That got me to their site and from there I found all these amazing clubs our youth is organizing and most importantly, doing. They also have the Do Something Awards which were earlier this year on VH1. They select 5 nominees that receive a $1,000 towards their cause and the Grand Prize Winner receives a $100,000 grant for funding for their project. The 2010 Grand Prize winner is Jessica Posner who started a community center in the second largest slum in the world, which is in Kibera Africa where 66% of girls there trade sex for food as early as 6 years old. But not everyone needs to cure cancer or fight AIDS to participate; any student can start a project they care about in their own community or simply search for volunteering opportunities near them. Since one of the rules is no adults, I would suggest sharing the site with your students and letting them run with the ball from there.
