Here is a list of existing groups that engage youth in efforts to improve their local schools.  We will be working with these groups to create profiles on each of their efforts so you can learn more about what they do and how you can get involved.  If you know of a group or program that could be on this list, or represent an organization and would like to complete your profile, please email us!
