Congratulations to the 2010 Service-Learning Multimedia Showcase Winners!

With support from the State Farm Companies Foundation, the National Service-Learning Partnership (NSLP) at the Academy for Educational Development is proud to announce the winners of the 2010 We Are a Solution: Youth Changing the World Through Service-Learning Multimedia Showcase!

Each of the winners will receive $500 to help support their service-learning efforts in their school/organization.

Middle School Division
Tchefuncte Middle School (Mandeville, LA)
Tchefuncte Middle School scored enough points with the judges that their slight loss in votes did not affect the outcome. The judges stated that "The students' personal touch and emotional connection with their project was charming," and that "this fantastic project...makes me want to go do the same thing!"

High School Division
Clarkstown High School North (New City, NY)
Clarkstown High School North scored both the highest score with the judges and the most votes from the public. The judges said that this "extremely touching" video "is the best video of the bunch by far. This video shows the passion that the whole school has for SL and this global issue."

All of the videos were wonderful! Please go to our YouTube channel to see all of the great entries.

Delay in winner announcement

We are sorry about the delay in the announcement of the winners. We have the results tabulated, but are still waiting on the final okay from our sponsoring partners. As soon as we have this, we will move forward with the announcements and awards.

Winners to be announced after tabulation!

It looks like the voting is coming to a close soon and the votes are close! After we compile the votes with the judges' scores, we will announce the winners within the next two weeks!

Celebrating Youth Who Dare To Change the World through Service-Learning

With support from the State Farm Insurance Companies Foundation, the National Service-Learning Partnership (NSLP) at the Academy for Educational Development is helping us shine a bold spotlight on the many ways in which we as young people are changing the world.

It is a national service-learning recognition program for youth, by youth. Through the We Are a Solution: Youth Changing the World through Service-Learning Multimedia Showcase, young people can express how they are transforming their communities, their schools, and even their own lives through service-learning. Through this showcase, youth will:

- Tell the world how education becomes more meaningful and school becomes more exciting when they are given the chance to put the skills and information learned in the classroom into action in the world around us.
- Spotlight the many ways in which youth are creating solutions to important community problems.
- Inspire others to bring learning to life by creating more opportunities for young people to learn and take action through service-learning.
