[Antiracism] Help The Holyoke Community Vision Project become one of the Final Four

[cjbSS at hampshire.edu]

I am writing to announce that a proposal I submitted, the  Community Vision
Project, to empower youth to act as agents of change in their  community was
selected as a top 20 finalists among nearly 5,000 entries nation  wide by the
Case Foundation for its Make It Your Own Award.
I am also asking your support to help this project be selected by  on-line
voting to be one of the Final Four to be awarded an additional  $25,000.  The
Case Foundation  will also give $2,500 to the favorite charity of the first 10
people who vote  for the four projects that become the Make It Your Own Awards
Final  Four.
The Community Vision Project  will develop a team of youth leaders to inspire
others and gather input from a  cross-section of residents to develop ideas
to make their community a better  place. Together they will create a Community
Vision Map that will graphically  express these ideas and help to inform and
mobilize the community. Action teams  will work to turn these ideas into
action. The Community Vision Project  is collaboration between the Holyoke Youth
Task Force Youth Commission,  Hampshire  College and other youth  programs and
adults in the community.
To vote for the Community Vision Project to be one of the Final Four,  please
log onto (http://miyo.casefoundation.org/node/6736/promote)  and simply click on
the vote button.  Voting ends April 22. (you can also
find out more about the project from this  site)
