Are you talented with making videos or taking pictures?
Do you want to get the word out about service-learning?

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

Entries will be sorted into three divisions by grade level: Elementary School (K-5), Middle School (6-8), and High School (9-12).
