Deering student takes YOUTHINK's message to D.C.

Deering student takes YOUTHINK's message to D.C.: "Curley, who goes to Deering High School in Portland, is part of the philanthropy group YOUTHINK. For the most part, their job is change.

At the conference, she'll be laying out how YOUTHINK has been behind many of the student-driven changes in the city.

For the last several years, YOUTHINK has been responsible for close to a dozen community action projects around Portland. Each year the group - which is run by a board of students - provides grants to other young people.

The projects have largely focused on changing certain aspects of school."
