StartSomeGood News
Last week, FOUR new campaigns launched on StartSomeGood:
Advocates for Youth Efficacy (A.Y.E.) is creating a future where youths are empowered to make a difference. Many times society’s leaders do not embrace youth ideas and needs-A.Y.E. exists to change this by aiding and facilitating youth involvement in society. The 1 in Too Campaign is raising awareness and support of child abuse victims. The sale of 1 in Too bands will raise money to donate to the Joyful Heart Foundation. Funds raised for this campaign will go towards the purchase of these bands and the enhancement of A.Y.E.’s website to process donations.
The Cost of Freedom Project is creating a future where every citizen has equal access to the ballot box. Eight states in the U.S. currently require individuals to show a government-issued photo-ID to vote. Many times, there are high costs to obtain copies of documentation needed to get these IDs and this mainly affects African Americans, Latino Americans, and citizens between the age of 18 and 24. The Cost of Freedom Project is developing a location-based Voter ID app that will cut through the confusion and provide voters with concise information on how to apply for a voter ID. Funds for this campaign will help pay for a developer, web designer, user experience designer, database manager, and webhosting so that the project can launch its Voter ID App on April 4, 2012.
Alumn.us is an online platform that brings together students, alumni, parents, and staff and offers them the tools they need to support the schools they care about. This makes it easy for students, teachers, and parents to launch targeted fundraising campaigns, develop college and career mentoring programs, and build lasting relationships for their schools. Alumn.us’ campaign on StartSomeGood will help launch a pilot program in two schools in the San Francisco Bay Area.
ThinkARETÉ is transforming young adults from high potential to high performing through F.O.C.U.S. programs (Focused Opportunities Cause Unlimited Success). It offers life coaching and provides aspirational young adults with the fundamentals and skills they need to live an optimal life. ThinkARETÉ's campaign tipping point goal will go towards legal fees and trademarking and the total funding goal wil help with marketing operations.
