Summer is just around the bend, which means bare feet, slip and slides and ice cream cones! It also means that the time to plan for next year is here.

Youth in Action groups around the world are busy creating their goals, action plans and leadership roles for next year. We look forward to hearing about your incredible plans. Be sure to update your group’s contact information at www.freethechildren.com/myinfo so that we can continue to keep in touch with you.

Your efforts this year, combined with those of your group, truly demonstrate the spirit of Me to We. Nominate a dedicated member of your group or someone else for the 2006 Me to We Awards! Winners will receive a trip to Toronto, where they will attend the Me to We Awards Gala, meet Marc and Craig Kielburger and get $5,000 to give to the charity of their choice. Check out the Just In section for more information.

Keep your eyes peeled for the June newsletter. It will feature information on how you can be on Free The Children's Board of Directors!

With passion,

The Youth Programming Team
