Teacher during school year, Larry the Lightbulb in summer: "Zenisek also is reviewing the material that supports the Community 101 program.
“It’s centered around youth philanthropy,” he said. “Students found a mini-foundation, establish a mission, and the PGE Foundation provides them with $5,000 to distribute. It gives students the opportunity to be involved in the community in ways they never have before.”"

SUMMER VACATION is the time when students, from kindergartners to college kids, are freed from their schedules of study, testing and even recess to pursue a schedule of sleeping late, watching television and taking thing easy. However, most students of all ages fill up the summertime hours with other pursuits -- vacations with their families, camps, summer jobs and projects.
One group of teenagers, along with adult leaders and advisers, prepared for an outreach project that is celebrating its 29th year. During the Mexico Mission by the Youth Ministry of the First Christian Church of Concord, high school students and adults head to a neighborhood outside Tijuana, Mexico, to spend the week of June 24 to July 1 working together to build homes for the poorest residents of the community."

PRETTY, SLEEPY LEXINGTON, VA., IS A TOWN OF CROOKED STREETS, quaint coffee shops and charming old wood-and-brick houses. Nestled side by side among its magnolia trees and azalea bushes are two historic universities, Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee University. The Lylburn Downing Community Center is just a few blocks away but in a different part of Lexington -- what's called the black part of town. This area also has narrow streets and rockers sitting on front porches. But it's across an unseen border -- one that students from nearby Washington and Lee, which is nearly 90 percent white, have little occasion to cross."

The proverbial lemonade stand that children set up in the summer rarely brings in more than a few bucks for a new bike. But last September, two Upland brothers brought in not only $5,200 with their cool drinks but something even more valuable -- a promising idea.
Tyler Useda, 9, and his little brother Cameron, 4, stood on the corner of Mountain Avenue and 21st Street in Upland last year and raised money for Hurricane Katrina victims after Tyler saw the horrific images on television. The success of that effort made their mother, Julie Hartz, realize that while children may not have the income for philanthropy, they certainly have the heart and will.
'Kids have such a fresh perspective on life,' Hartz said. 'And when adults see the younger generation truly act and do something for their country that moves the older generation, who has more money, to give.'"

Among the camp’s programs, which focus on sportsmanship, teamwork, cooperation and non-competitiveness, there is also a Helping Hands philanthropy component. Each year, the camp chooses an organization to make a donation to and involves the campers in raising the money.
The twist is that the nearly 600 campers themselves do not collect money from family and friends or have fund-raisers. Instead, they participate in activities at camp which earn them points. "
