Since my TEDx talk was released, I have been receiving lots of emails from people wanting to learn how to implement the ideas I shared. I’ve also been hearing from humane educators and groups doing fantastic work across the globe. For my next several blog posts, I wanted to share some of their great work.Imagine a week-long summer camp for 12-17-year-olds who want to make a difference. Imagine a beautiful setting in either Portland, Oregon, or Santa Cruz, California. Imagine how these young people might become inspired and engaged in just one week to become lifelong solutionaries for a better world.
It’s happening. Youth Empowered Action (YEA) Camps are offered three times this summer in July and August.
Find out more.
See our interview with YEA Camp founder, Nora Kramer.
For a better world through humane education,

Love your weaving of critical values and goals into one illuminating tapestry. (It reminds me a bit of a Native American approach.) Thank you so much. Your point (at TED) about "education" being "boring" is well-taken, as we see this with "telework." (Like "education," "telework" is a "dwarf star" concept: one teaspoon holds five tons of meaning. Local living, reduced "car culture," family cohesion, restored civic life...) Keep up the good work, and thank you for your inspiring efforts.
